Free (nook/Kindle/iTunes/DRM-free) Christianish [Xtian Faith Re-Examination Critique]

ATDrake · 04-20-2015, 12:23 PM

Christianish: What If We're Not Really Following Jesus At All? by Mark Steele is his personal experience-based critique and re-examination of present-day faith/church practices and how they've veered from the core of Jesus' teachings to more of a cargo-cult-y kind of thing (recommended tangential reading: non-religious Nobel Prize-winner Richard P. Feynman's lecture/essay, Cargo Cult Science) and from there some sort of advocacy guide to reclaiming the roots of one's Christ-like-ness in a Gandhi-esque* way presumably, free courtesy of Christian publisher David C. Cook.

This has previously been offered free in 2013.

Currently free, probably just for the next couple of days @ B&N (may also drop in the UK), Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK), iTunes & Google Play (both available to Canadians), and also ChristianBook (DRM-Free ePub available to selected countries), and may also be free at other venues listed on the publisher's catalogue page (where you can also watch the book trailer), and might also drop later @ BookShout (online reading & in-app download) as DCC freebies sometimes do.

Description
It may feel like authentic faith. It may even look like the real deal. Yet it's often easy to settle for the souvenir t-shirt—the appearance of a transformed heart—instead of taking the actual trip through true life-change. We find ourselves settling for a personal faith that's been polluted by culture, and diluted by other people's take on spirituality.

Christianish tells the story of one man's journey to move from the in-between to a life that's centered on Christ. To move forward, author Mark Steele goes back to the beginning, to examine Christ's life and words. Through stories and insights that are sometimes profound, often hilarious, and always honest, Mark delivers a compelling look at what our faith is all about.

* "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians, for they are so unlike your Christ." or however the quote goes.
