Mean Christianity: Finding Our Way Back to Christ's Likeness

Mean Christianity: Finding Our Way Back to Christs Likeness explores the Christian faith as an intentional daily commitment to others--a cathartic and uncomfortable journey that leads travelers to Christs likeness. The book considers how and why individual Christians and the corporate body of Christ have come to be perceived negatively by so many. It describes the primacy of Christ as the central tenet of Christianity and offers seven Jesus life themes for every Christian. These themes based on a qualitative study of the canonical gospels assist readers with the development of a framework for a Christlike life.The book defines Mean Christianity and considers its causes and costs. Readers are confronted with both the possibility of meanness in the faith and in their actions and encouraged to consider a Christlike life as an alternative to meanness. Finally readers are introduced to the concepts of forgiveness grace and mercy as a part of Gods broader plan for reconciliation and fullness in life.
