Much of what McLaren describes and names so well in the first half of the book hit that spot in me that recognizes truth. Ah-ha, I'm not the only one to think/feel/experience such and such. I found the views so compelling, I bought a copy of my own (because I'd started with a library book). Who doesn't appreciate knowing they are not alone?

And then the focus of the writing shifts to how-to. My momentum slacked, and I felt like I was in the weeds. This is most likely a reflection on my need/interest rather than on the topic or the writing.

I'm going to trust that timing matters and that when I'm ready, I'll find McLaren waiting to walk me through what comes next in living a life that is in tune with what I believe. ( )

I have to admit something right up front- I am a big fan of Brian McLaren's work. I don't always agree with all of his conclusions, but I really enjoy reading his books. When I started The Great Spiritual Migration, I already came into the book with a bit of foreknowledge-
1. The church is changing. Some are calling this the next reformation.
2. The biggest religious group growing right now are the nones.
3. Due to all of these changes and shifts, there is an edge to some in the church about what to do. Mainlines are shrinking and have been for centuries and evangelical churches experienced a small growth, but are experiencing the same thing now.

I, of course, had other bits of knowledge ahead of time, but these were the pertinent ones :-)

This book not only helped summarize and put into perspective some of these things I already knew, but looked for transformation in the midst of it all. McLaren's premise is that through these changes, Christianity can allow a new vision of faith to shine forth. It is a more hopeful outlook rather than a woe is me outlook that some other Christian books have produced. I could hand this book to a council or another Christian seeking answers and it would help. I really enjoyed this one and gave it 4 stars.

I wish to thank Blogging for Books for a copy of this book. I received it in exchange for an honest review.

Highly recommended. If you are looking for ways to make church more meaningful and relevant, read this book. ( )

From the publisher:

Brian McLaren, a leading voice in contemporary religion, argues that -- notwithstanding the dire headlines about the demise of faith and drop in church attendance -- Christian faith is not dying. Rather, it is embarking on a once-in-an-era spiritual shift. For millions, the journey has already begun. Drawing from his work as global activist, pastor, and public theologian, McLaren challenges readers to stop worrying, waiting, and indulging in nostalgia, and instead, to embrace the powerful new understandings that are reshaping the church. In The Great Spiritual Migration, he explores three profound shifts that define the change: Spiritually, growing numbers of Christians are moving away from defining themselves by lists of beliefs and toward a way of life defined by love ; Theologically, believers are increasingly rejecting the image of God as a violent Supreme Being and embracing the image of God as the renewing Spirit at work in our world for the common good ; Missionally, the faithful are identifying less with organized religion and more with organizing religion -- spiritual activists dedicated to healing the planet, building peace, overcoming poverty and injustice, and collaborating with other faiths to ensure a better future for all of us. With his trademark brilliance and compassion, McLaren invites readers to seize the moment and set out on the most significant spiritual pilgrimage of our time: to help Christianity become more Christian.
