Kinda Christianity: A Generous, Fair, Organic, Free-Range Guide to Authentic Realness - Paperback

by Zach Bartels (Author), Ted Kluck (Author)

"So you're ready to take the plunge. Ready to translate your quest into action! Without defining yourself, and certainly without boxing yourself into one particular rigid way of doing theology or church, you're ready to become emergent. You have a username and clever screen name picked out at Emergent Village(tm), and maybe you've even begun having church in an empty warehouse in the industrial sector of your city. If so, good for you! But those are just the first, baby steps in your journey (your dance, if you will) into Kinda Christianity. This book will help you along the rest of your uniquely creative path to super-terrific self-discovery." -From the Introduction For exceprts, study guide, etc., go to http: //www.gutcheckpress.com/kinda/
