Simple Spirituality: Learning to See God in a Broken World

Simple Spirituality - Christopher L. Heuertz

"Chris Heuertz's ability to weave real-life stories with scriptural and theological reflection makes this a very engaging and refreshing book. At a time when the gap between the poor and rich continues to grow, Chris reminds us that what the gospel commands us to do is not so much to do things for the poor, but to become friends, indeed sit at the same table, with the poor. What makes such a duty possible, even delightful, are such gifts as humility, community, simplicity, submission and brokenness--simple spirituality, he calls it!" --Emmanuel Katongole, Associate Research Professor of Theology and World Christianity, and co-director of the Center for Reconciliation, Duke Divinity School

David Platt challenges Christians to do more than come to church on Sunday and have a basic understanding of the Bible.  He wants Christians in America to reexamine their lifestyle based on what scripture says.  Did Jesus really mean that we should give away all of our possessions?  Even if you do not agree with the book 100% of the time, it will certainly motivate you to think critically about what it means to be a Christian rather than an "American Christian."
