title: Resurrecting Religion
author: Greg Paul
publisher: NavPress
date: 2018
Religion is a polarizing word. It is often reinterpreted into something it is not. We have all heard the meaningless phrase "I'm not religious. I am spiritual." Religion has an identity crisis.
Greg Paul, pastor of the Sanctuary in downtown Toronto has something to say about true religion. It is a reflection on the implications of the book of James.
I enjoy Greg's writing - I have read his other books, have heard him speak and have met him. Greg is a great story teller. A story teller who draws us not just into the story, but to see Jesus in the story.
As can be expected, "Resurrecting Religion" is about the good news of Jesus being lived out where widows, orphans and strangers are the guest of honour, where everyone is welcome, everyone is a newcomer to God's Kingdom, where the last are declared first.
Greg's writing is informed by years of practice and activism, rooted in contemplation.
I would highly recommend "Resurrecting Religion." You will be encouraged and challenged. And see Jesus and his kingdom a little clearer.
