Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great!
Shane has a lot to say and a great way of saying it. His writing is thought provoking and down to earth.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Original
Jesus for President: Politics for Ordinary Radicals by Shane Claiborne was a very visually designed book. It challenges the political and economic structures of the day and is an extremely provocative book.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Truly amazing

As often as these rewarding bits appear, the reader is punished ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great for Bible history

As most of the Bible is based on interpretation, it was also interesting to read Shane's interpretation with his co-author. This book was also much more well-written than the Irresistible Revolution, which made it more desirable to read. In a time of elections, it's incredible to remember who and what it is that truly matters ... Read More
