How can the life and teachings of Jesus impact the most critical global problems in our world today?For the last twenty years, Brian McLaren has been unable to escape this life-shaping question. In Everything Must Change, he unveils a fresh and provocative vision of Jesus and his teachings, and how his message of hope can ignite purpose and passion to change the economic, environmental, military, political, and social crises that have overtaken our world.The Good News is more than a ticket to heaven. It is an invitation to personal change and a radical challenge for global transformation. Imagine what would happen:if we believed that God's will really could be done on earth and not just in heavenif the world's leading nations spent less on weapons and more on making peace, alleviating poverty, and caring for creationif a renewed understanding of Jesus and his message sparked a profound spiritual awakening in a global movement of faith, hope, and loveIf you are hungry for a fresh vision of what it means to be a person of faith, Everything Must Change shows what would happen when Jesus' Good News collides with a world in need.

This is not a quick and easy read. At least it wasn’t for me. But this is potentially one of the most important books you may ever read. The is one of 4 or 5 books I would like to see in everyone’s library.More importantly, I’d like to see it in the hands of every “young” person between 18 and 30. I totally believe the future of the world as we know it depends on the issues addressed in this book.“Everything Must Change” is written by a Christian, predominately to a Christian audience (although many fundamentalists doubt this target audience is “Christian” to begin with). But, the issues and principles here apply to every human on the face of the planet. And they effect every human and non-human on the face of the planet.Some issues covered are:* The Prosperity Crisis – Environmental breakdown caused by our unsustainable global economy. One that does not respect environmental limits, while creating great wealth for about one third of the world’s population.* The Equity Crisis – There’s a growing gap between the ultra-rich and the extremely poor, most of whom are growing in envy, resentment and hate of the rich. The rich become fearful and angry as they seek to protect their wealth.* The Security Crisis – The danger of war arising from resentment between the groups at opposite ends of the economic spectrum.* The Spirituality Crisis – This is the failure of the world’s religions (especially Christianity and Islam) to provide a framing story that could bring healing or at least reduction to, the previous three crises.This is another book that will help readers see how we’ve misconstrued so many of Jesus’ teachings. Brian helps us to hear Jesus’ words more in alignment with how his first listeners heard them. We see that we have a “framing story” that desperately needs changed. So we revisit “the essential message of Jesus.” In doing so, we re-examine metaphors like “The Kingdom of God.” We consider our human situation in connection with the message and purpose of JesusIn one section, Mr. Mclaren likens our past religious attempts at understanding to those of someone piecing together a puzzle. We’re trying to fit it all together according to the picture on the lid. The problem is, we have the wrong lid!In chapter 4, a young man from Khayelitsha, South Africa, delivers a very weighty message to a group of pastors and evangelists from America. It is a message every pastor and evangelist needs to hear. If you’re a “missionary,” please read this chapter. Even if you don’t want to buy the book, borrow it from the library. Borrow it from me. Just read this chapter.It seems many people shy away from politics and religion. As Brian states, “A lot of us are very happy to go through life knowing as little as possible about economics, politics, and ecology.” The thing is, these are both the problem, and part of the solution. For me personally, my politics are intrinsically tied to my faith in Christ. Yes, we pray. But then we help bring God’s will “on earth as it is in heaven” by taking action: Action that can help bring about equality, justice, and environmental responsibility. I believe a proper look at the teachings of Jesus will reveal that very thing.This was my 9th Brian McLaren book. My “Comrades” and I are getting ready, as a group, to read Brian’s latest, “We Make The Road By Walking.”If you’re someone who cares about the future of your children, your children’s children, and so on; I would suggest you read “Everything Must Change” and seriously consider the message it contains.Quotes:- Not only am I often unsatisfied with conventional answers, but even worst, I’ve consistently been unsatisfied with conventional questions.- Part of what it means to be “a new kind of Christian” is to discover or rediscover what the essential message of Jesus is about.- Many of our religious institutions have taught us to see no horizon for the message of Jesus beyond the soul of the individual.– The way of the kingdom of God calls people to a higher concern than self- or national interest: namely, concern for the common good.- We can no longer deal with global problems as discrete unrelated issues.- Jesus bursts on the scene with this scandalous message: The time has come! Rethink everything! A radically new kind of empire is available.- Theocapitalists have tended to see the rich as morally good and the poor as morally culpable for their own poverty.– Many of our current eschatologies, intoxicated by dubious interpretations of John’s Apocalypse, are not only ignorant and wrong, but dangerous and immoral.- We don’t have a violent “Second Coming” Jesus who finishes what the gentle “First Coming” Jesus failed to do, but we have a poetic description of the way the gentle First Coming Jesus powerfully overcomes through his nonviolent “weakness”, a prince of peace whose word of reconciliation is truly mightier than Caesar’s sword.
