unChristian

unChristian
by David Kinnaman

The author made the case that many of the non-Christian's negative observations of Christians were brought on by the Christians own behavior.

Those negative observations are:

  • Hypocritical
  • Too focused on getting converts
  • Anti homosexual
  • Sheltered
  • Too political
  • Judgmental
It would be difficult for me to disagree, as many publicly Christian people do exhibit these tendencies.

The author takes you through many examples of each trait, and offers suggestions for ways Christians can change their behavior to change the perception of the activities. Unfortunately, he offers no ideas on how to change the actual negative behaviors.

This is actually a book I did not finish. We were in Montana for an uncle's funeral. This book went to breakfast with me each morning. After reading the introductory chapters, the table of contents, and a chapter on being hypocritical, it lost my interest.

Check it out from the library, not a book store.
