I was not familiar with Morgan Guyton until I stumbled
across his new book, How Jesus Saves The World From Us. Unlike Morgan I do not come from a
conservative evangelical background, but instead grew up in main line churches
that tended to lean ever so slightly towards progressivism. I would call myself firmly in the center of
the progressive camp today.
That said, I found his book challenging and refreshing. I think what I appreciated most was the
questions at the end of each section of the book. They gave me a chance to stop and think about
where we (I) need to move forward in my relationship with God.
I recently was sent an article of his called “Six Things
That Make White Christian America Toxic”.
In some ways it was a good summary of what was in the book, but maybe a
bit more biting in tone.
I would recommend the book to a discussion group that cares
about helping the church be relevant to the culture today.
