McLaren states, "More and more Christian leaders are beginning to realize that for the millions of young adults who have recently dropped out of church, Christianity is a failed religion...It has focused on 'me' and 'my eternal destiny, ' but it has failed to address the dominant societal and global realities of their lifetime..."
What he sets forth in this provocative, unsettling work is a "form of Christian faith that is holistic, integral, balanced, that offers good news for both the living and the dying, that speaks of God's grace at work both in this life and the life to come, both to individuals and to societies and the planet as a whole."
Best-selling author and Emergent church leader Brian McLaren gives Christians a Gospel-centered way to engage with the world's contemporary issues.
The world is not simple anymore. With the media and Internet shedding light on the atrocities of our world, the corruption of power, and the seemingly unfixable state of things, despair has become the white noise of our lives. Is there a strong, biblical way to counter? Or do Christians have no choice but to cower in a hermetic bubble without danger or the need for boldness or participation in a fallen world?
In "Everything Must Change," Brian McLaren issues a brilliant and revolutionary way for Christians to engage with the world. With clarity and power, McLaren unifies global issues with the power of the Gospel. The result is an inspiring and energizing message that could change the course of history.
