Adventures in Churchland: Finding Jesus in the Mess of Organized Religion by Dan Kimball

4.0

This book sort of meanders through Dan Kimball’s life and the different church circumstances he has been exposed to. In the meantime he has advice for the Christian , the seeker, and the church. A refreshing look at what church looks like to a young man who Jesus chose to be his messenger, but who didn’t grow up in the church. We can look pretty strange.

Admonitions that: There is a difference between church land and grace land.
It is the church’s job to love people, not to judge them.
Missional adventure of breaking negative stereo types of the church.
Let’s not allow the church to keep people from being able to meet Jesus.
And don't give up on the church.

We need to stop “going to church” and start being the church.
Stresses that ministry is not just for paid church staff….it is for all of us.

The target audience is both Christians and seekers.
He has an interpretation of Jesus and the money changers that I didn’t quite understand - I’m going to need to go back and figure that one out.
