A New Kind of Christian's conversation between a pastorand his daughter's high school science teacher reveals that wisdomfor life's most pressing spiritual questions can come from the mostunlikely sources. This stirring fable captures a new spirit ofChristianity--where personal, daily interaction with God is moreimportant than institutional church structures, where faith is moreabout a way of life than a system of belief, where beingauthentically good is more important than being doctrinally"right," and where one's direction is more important than one'spresent location. Brian McLaren's delightful account offers a wiseand wondrous approach for revitalizing Christian spiritual life andChristian congregations.
