An Unstoppable Force: Daring to Become the Church God Had in Mind by Erwin Raphael McManusMy review
rating: 4 of 5 stars
It took me a while to work my way through this one, not because it wasn't good, but because it inspired a lot of thinking.
The chapter on Spiritual Leadership is one every Christian leader, especially Pastors, should read. The Epilogue, chapter 10, entitled Radical Minimum Standard is a chapter every believer should read.
His statement that in today's church we live with a conspiracy of mediocrity, that we are unwitting enemies of nobility and heroism, where we choose to live where apathy is normal and average is the goal, reminds me of a statement of Billy Sunday, "most christians are so sub-normal that when you see a Christian that is normal, we think he is ab-normal."

McManus has another book called "Wide Awake"
I'd be interested to hear what you thought about that one.
Well - the whole anonymous kept you from getting this -- so now that I know about that -- I have signed up.
This one reminded me of Watchman Nee's THE NORMAL CHRISTIAN LIFE that as I recall stated that we are all such "sub-normal" Christians that whenever we meet a "normal" Christian, we think that they are "super-normal" Christians. skh
