An Irreligious Faith: How to Starve Religion and Feed Life Glenn Hager 1.º edición

An Irreligious Faith is Glenn Hager?s story of re-evaluating his beliefs and re-examining the church he loved for so long. That led to him becoming an encourager to those who find Jesus attractive, but struggle with the institutional church. Many of those who have turned from church find Jesus Christ very compelling and aspire to the kind of life he lived, including his compassion for the poor and those on the fringes of society. People are assuming responsibility for their own spiritual expression, rather than outsourcing it to an institution.
Glenn wrote An Irreligious Faith for people who want to bring the revolutionary ways of Jesus into their present daily experience, those looking for a stripped-down, raw and real way to live out their faith, right here, right now, without all of the baggage of over 2,000 years of institutional Christianity.
The book is divided into four sections.
An Irreligious Journey: Coerced into Freedom is Glenn?s story of transitioning from being a pastor for over twenty years to expressing his faith in a more natural way, integrated into his life.
An Irreligious Jesus: Surprised by His Humanity is a study in contrasts between the church and the counter-intuitive, but compelling ways of Jesus.
An Irreligious Church: Shifted into Reality is a well-reasoned list of practical suggestions the church could take to be more like Jesus and more attractive to people.
An Irreligious Life: Adjusted to the New Normal is an encouraging guide for the person who has decided to forge a faith apart from the institution.
If you have questions about church, if you have left church, if you are a pastor who wonders about some of the expectations placed upon you, even if you have never darkened the doors of the church, this book will give words to your thoughts and show you a way forward toward a faith that's real.
