simply brilliant

I just finished N.T. Wright's Simply Christian.

He wrote it to explain the faith to non-Christians, but also to shed some much-needed light for lifelong believers. Wow - he hit this one out the park. It's even better than [gasp!] Mere Christianity. I'd highly recommend this book to friends who have questions about the faith.

Not everything N.T. Wright says is pure gold, but this book is close. And it gives an inspiring picture of what we're doing here and what God is doing for and through us.

"Despite what many people may think, within the Christian family and outside it, the point of Christianity isn't 'to go to heaven when you die.' The New Testament picks up from the Old theme that God intends, in the end, to put the whole creation to rights."

Thank you, Nicholas. It's so refreshing to read something that so clearly articulates what Christianity is all about.
