Right now I'm working my way through the book, unChristian. It was recommended to me by a colleague, and I'm quite intrigued by it. It is a consolidated view on a study conducted to find out what non-Christian believers think about Christians. And, I think their data is accurate.
I'm finding this book and a lot of the discussion around it frustrating. On the website they link to their You Tube Channel; some of the comments made by self-proclaimed Christians infuriated me. All they did was add fuel to the flame of the accusations in the book: hypocritical, convert hungry, antihomosexual, sheltered, too political and judgmental. I know some of the people that feel this way. I've heard their reasons, and unfortunately their reasons weren't too far off. I've also heard Christians feel this way. I've felt this way at times.
I'm having a hard time working through this book. I get frustrated quickly because of where Christianity is now positioned. I find myself pulling out the bible and reading about how we should be, why we should be different, how we're wrong and how perception is just part of the problem.
I'm thinking about adding this book to my Recommended Readings. It generates a lot of conversational points that need to be discussed, a lot of points that need to be listened to. Have you heard of this book or read it? If so, what are your thoughts?
