Casper the Friendly Atheist

I've have so enjoyed the book, "Jim & Casper Go To Church" that I purchased 15 copies for my staff and others in the offices. I just can't stop talking about what I am learning from this 167 page read.

Things Jim & Casper bring to light during the read:
  • What is, and how compelling is, the call to action?
  • How is the Word of God integrated into practical examples of living the faith?
  • What prior knowledge and belief does the church assume attenders possess?
  • Is the church more interested in conversation or conversion? In dialogue or debate?
  • How accessible is the heart and mind of the ministry?
  • Is the church engaging people or performing for them?
  • How realistic is the teaching? Is it the result of proof-texting or contextualization?
  • What is the church's capacity for listening?
  • Is this a body of believers who are more interested in serving or being served?
  • What makes a church genuine and authentic in its interaction with people?
  • How honest are Christians in discussing the cost of following Christ?

Keeping It Real!
