I just could not finish this book, after something like 10 attempts, over the course of 6 years. It is unbelievably boring. Every time the author starts to write about something real - their life, their parishioners - there appears a glimmer of hope, but then he inevitably reverts back to one the emotional fixations he has, that he, for better or for worse, cannot put in words and pass to the reader through the text. At least not to me. It's like hitting a wall on every other page. Insufferable. He tries to clean his faith from all "non-Gods", from all idols, from everything that is not God, and while poetry and beauty are not the first things on the list, at least officially, they get definitely damaged in the process. Which makes this book really hard to read.

A fresh exploration of a redeeming, dynamic, and radically different way to hold one's religion Samir Selmanovic--who grew up a in a culturally Muslim family in Croatia, converted to Christianity as a soldier in the then-Yugoslavian army, and went on to become a Christian pastor in Manhattan and in Southern California--looks at how our ongoing and sometimes violent power struggles over who owns God and what God wants for the world and its peoples are not serving God, humanity, or our planet. Shows how our religions have become self-serving, God-management systems, however Selmanovic contends--change is possible Offers a path for people of all faiths and traditions for living together on our fragile earth Karen Armstrong said that the book is "asking the right questions at the right time" This is a personal story and a moving exploration of a new way of treasuring one's own religion while discovering God, goodness, and grace in others and in their traditions.

I read the book slowly over a protracted period of time. It seemed good to give the ideas time to romp in my head before plowing on. Accessible style with enough structure to keep the prose flowing. ( )
