"Jesus came to start a movement not a religion." Jesus came to
start a revolutionary movement of love, not the stifling,
compliantly docile religion that is far too prevalent in our world
today. To Jesus, poverty, racism, economic disparity, violence,
classism, sexism and all other forms of injustice and oppression
cannot be tolerated in the revolutionary kingdom reign of God. The
question that the "Red Letter Revolution" asks is this, "Are we
willing to continue in the revolutionary path of Jesus and labour
on behalf of the oppressed of our day, no matter what the personal
cost? Or, will we ignore the cries of the poor or even worse, go
the way of the religious institution and blindly walk our way
through a world of need?" In "The Red Letter Revolution" the reader
will be challenged to join Jesus' radical movement by submitting
his or her life to the words of Jesus written in red that are found
in certain versions of the Bible. It dreams of a global movement in
which "Red Letter Christians" gather together to worship Jesus,
listen to his voice and do his works. And, it lays down a practical
plan in which these "red letter" groups can impact their cities,
nation and world especially in the lives of the poor and oppressed.
Red Letter Christianity is God's dream for every nation in our
world. Are you up for the challenge to join the revolution in
acting out the words of Jesus locally, nationally and globally? If
you are then this book is for you.
The many challenges life throws at us do not shape us. How we
respond to these challenges does. In "The Beautiful Disappointment"
urban youth worker and author, Colin McCartney, shares his personal
struggles in dealing with the murder of one of his staff, the death
of a child in his program and his own near death experience from a
paralyzing water accident in Hawaii. While the author was
recovering from this life threatening accident in the critical care
unit of Maui Memorial Hospital he slowly realizes that trials are
"beautiful disappointments" God can use to purge us off all the
false things we have allowed to disfigure who we truly are. It is
through this "refining by trials" that the author experiences the
intimate presence of God, a presence in our soul that frees us to
reconnect to who we truly are as God originally created us to be. A
true story that will leave the reader truly changed.
