I have to admit something right up front- I am a big fan of Brian McLaren's work. I don't always agree with all of his conclusions, but I really enjoy reading his books. When I started The Great Spiritual Migration, I already came into the book with a bit of foreknowledge- 1. The church is changing. Some are calling this the next reformation. 2. The biggest religious group growing right now are the nones. 3. Due to all of these changes and shifts, there is an edge to some in the church about what to do. Mainlines are shrinking and have been for centuries and evangelical churches experienced a small growth, but are experiencing the same thing now. I, of course, had other bits of knowledge ahead of time, but these were the pertinent ones :-) This book not only helped summarize and put into perspective some of these things I already knew, but looked for transformation in the midst of it all. McLaren's premise is that through these changes, Christianity can allow a new vision of faith to shine forth. It is a more hopeful outlook rather than a woe is me outlook that some other Christian books have produced. I could hand this book to a council or another Christian seeking answers and it would help. I really enjoyed this one and gave it 4 stars. I wish to thank Blogging for Books for a copy of this book. I received it in exchange for an honest review.

And then the focus of the writing shifts to how-to. My momentum slacked, and I felt like I was in the weeds. This is most likely a reflection on my need/interest rather than on the topic or the writing.
I'm going to trust that timing matters and that when I'm ready, I'll find McLaren waiting to walk me through what comes next in living a life that is in tune with what I believe. ( )
