Something is wrong and there is more than this.

No book has been such a pleasant surprise to me as Stanley Hauerwas' and William H. Willimon's Resident Aliens. I was not excited or interested in reading it all but as soon as I found my way into the first chapter I knew that I was in for a serious ride. This is a book simply for people who know something is wrong in our world and it is a wake up call for those who have ignored the problems. I get to see Hauerwas tonight at APU.

"A Church that had ceased to ask the right questions as it went about congratulating itself for transforming the world, not noticing that in fact the world had tamed the church... we would like a church that again asserts that God, not nations, rules the world, that the boundaries of God's kingdom transcends those of Caesar, and that the main political task of the church is the formation of people who see clearly the cost of discipleship and are willing to pay the price."
