For all the weirdos out there

4 STARS
REVIEW: Keep Christianity Weird: Embracing the Discipline of Being Different by Michael Frost

If you feel like a weirdo, maybe this book is for you. I was initially drawn to this book because of the title, because I often feel very weird, like I don’t fit a preconceived mold. Like a round peg in a square hole. But as a Christian, author Michael Frost says that is a good thing!  Blessed are the weird people! Blessed are the ones who see things different!

Because he says, if our churches are filled with people not living weird and instead living the same way everybody else is, then what do we as Christians have to commend? So, Frost suggests, Christians should be living weird lives. Because weird people, those who see things differently, change things and push the human race forward. And because the ones who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.

So, if you are someone who wants to see a bit more crazyin Christianity, a bit more weirdness, you will likely enjoy Frost’s newest book. Because the church needs more innovators, and more risk takers. More weirdos.
