 Erwin McManus wasn't raised in a Christian home, so when he came to Christ as a college student, he didn't know the rules of the "religious club." He didn't do well in Shakespeare courses, so he didn't really understand the KJV Bible he was given either. But he did understand that prayer was a conversation, and he learned to talk to God and wait for answers. Erwin's way was passionate and rough around the edges-a sincere, barbaric journey to Christ.   Barbaric Christians see Jesus differently than civilized Christians. They see disciples differently, and they see Christ's mission differently. The Barbarian Way is a call to escape "civilized" Christianity and become original, powerful, untamed Christians-just as Christ intended.   less

McManus' call for abandoning oursleves to Christ in following Him is wonderfully challenging and accessible. All in our all out. Sometimes I felt he overstates the relationship with barbarianism and following Christ-but the idea of Christianity as a reckless pursuit of Him, a relentless love of Him, and trusting Him in all things and at all times is wonderfully refreshing.

Well... I don't heart that the listing for this book is spelled wrong, but what can you do? However, I do love this book. I read it in one sitting flying from Atlanta to Southern California.

 Well... I don't heart that the listing for this book is spelled wrong, but what can you do? However, I do love this book. I read it in one sitting flying from Atlanta to Southern California. For one thing, reading this book is like going to Starbucks with Erwin McManus and chatting. It is such an easy read. But it was also a challenging read- driving me to leave the comfort zone of my white-bread, safe, and often stale faith and venture "further up and further in" as C.S. Lewis would say.   hide

Did you know Jesus drove an ATV on uncharted paths?  Hop on and hold on!  Anyone who thinks following Jesus is boring never tried it.

This book puts to rest once and for all the silly notion that being in the center of God's will is the safest place to be.  The fact is God calls many of us to great challenges and even sometimes danger for His good and His glory.  At first I thought the Barbarian analogy was a little cheesy, but I really came to appreciate it by the end of the book.  Most Christians in America need this...more
 This book puts to rest once and for all the silly notion that being in the center of God's will is the safest place to be.  The fact is God calls many of us to great challenges and even sometimes danger for His good and His glory.  At first I thought the Barbarian analogy was a little cheesy, but I really came to appreciate it by the end of the book.  Most Christians in America need this challenge to not settle for the status quo and have a domesticated faith. Thanks Erwin, I needed that.   hide

Good rah-rah take that hill kind of book.  But he is right on with the idea that we should not conform to religious culture.  What would the church look like if we took away the safety net and lived for Jesus no matter the consequences?  I dare to say...very different.

This was a really good book, encouraging Christians to step out of the passive, comfortable faith and live lives worthy of the calling to follow Christ.  It reminded me a lot of Wild at Heart by John Eldridge, which is definitely a compliment!  Definitely a good book to check out.  Also, a rather short read.
