Review for Keep Christianity Weird by Michael Frost

I received this book for free in place of my honest review on it from Tyndale.

So, here goes!

Okay, I learned a lot from this book. I did. I just can't explain it exactly.
Like, I should know words to use to explain it, but I don't.
It was a great fast read, I enjoyed it a lot, and I learned that I was one of those people who keep Christianity weird. Yep. I'm weird.
But that's a compliment, I love being called weird! Lol
So I wanted to put these questions up, and I was wondering if any of you could answer one or two of em. You don't obviously have too, but I tried to answer them myself after I read them, and I was wondering if anyone could come up with a better answer than me :)

Question #1
Who are some historical (or contemporary) people you particularly admire? Why? What, if anything, is eccentric about those people?

Question #2
Where do you fall on a spectrum of conventional to crazy?
How do you feel you fit in to this vision of the Christian faith? Why?

Question #3
What was the zaniest thing you've ever seen a church do? What did you think of it then? What do you think of it now?

Question #4
What's one thing you can start doing to embrace the discipline of being different? What can you and your friends start doing to help keep Christianity Weird?

All till next time! :)

    It is weird to say you trust and believe in something you can't see! But that's what makes us who we are...Christians.
    Zaniest thing I ever saw....a large group of people all calling out to God for a miraculous healing. Even zanier...the person was healed!!
    I want to read this book to see what zany weird Christian stories there are!

    For me I know its not historical but I always admired Steve Jobs for his innovative ideas and outlook on life.
    Zaniest thing was probably seeing a mass with 17 Bishops and they were blessing the state of Pennsylvania so that was cool.
    To keep Christianity weird I should just keep doing what I am doing because I think I am making it weird already :)

Losing someone you love

Now, many people have lost someone they love, I lost my grandpa right before Christmas.  I was devastated, but there wasn't anything I could do. My brain told me it was coming when he was sent to stay in the hospital, yet my heart had hope.  I really wanted to be able to see him again, it will happen one day in Heaven, but not earth. A few weeks before he was hospitalized (hope its spelled right)  I was talking to him on the phone, he was telling me how I used sit on his lap, he'd scratch my back, and I'd beg him to take me to Buddy Freddie's, I love that place, and still would had it not closed down. I have one last memory of going there on my sixth birthday before we moved.  From Florida to Texas, quite a distance by car. See, everytime we would talk, he would ask me the same threw questions, he was joking around but they were real, I won't give out this questions because I don't want to, but I wish I could've said yes one of those times he asked but I

Review of When Through Deep Waters

Image
I just finished reviewing this book and I have to say, it was fabulous!! Tyndale House Publishing are the ones who I went through to review it. They  are awesome! Anywho, onto the book! I have never read anything like it before, but I loved it. I was skeptical at first, but it turned out great! There was intrigue, mystery, heartache, and sweet dreams,etc etc. Alicen was a troubled woman who was overcoming a lot of things, and I think that Rachelle Dekker wrote the story well. The words and sentences to me matched up with Life After by Katie Ganshert. Which is a book I love! So good job Rachelle!! The only thing I didn't like about it was that there was too much death. The first death was necessary for the story, but I didn't like the second death. The back cover: "Alicen McCaffrey finally has the life her mother always dreamed for her: beautiful home in Santa Monica, successful husband, adorable daughter. Then tragedy blows her carefully assembled façade to p
