For decades the accepted wisdom has been that America's mainline Protestant churches are in decline, eclipsed by evangelical mega-churches. Church and religion expert Diana Butler Bass wondered if this was true, and this book is the result of her extensive, three-year study of centrist and progressive churches across the country. Her surprising findings reveal just the opposite - that many of the churches are flourishing, and they are doing so without resorting to mimicking the mega-church, evangelical style. Christianity for the Rest of Us describes this phenomenon....

Hope Springs Eternal for Mainliners
Revisado: 03-25-13
This is a terrific study of what mainline churches are doing to confront and promote a deeper and more meaningful approach to Christianity and to increase their relevancy in today's culture and state of social evolution. The true Way of Jesus is much clearer to the churches she writes about than too many of the mainline and fundamentalist churches of today. Religious and social evolution is slow and sometimes painful, but like evolution of the species, we gradually see an improvement in the way things are in spite of the tendency of so many to resist change.

The story begins in 1962. On a rocky patch of the sun-drenched Italian coastline, a young innkeeper, chest-deep in daydreams, looks out over the incandescent waters of the Ligurian Sea and spies an apparition: a tall, thin woman, a vision in white, approaching him on a boat. She is an actress, he soon learns, an American starlet, and she is dying. And the story begins again today, half a world away, when an elderly Italian man shows up on a movie studio's back lot - searching for the mysterious woman he last saw at his hotel decades earlier.

Interesting Characters
Revisado: 01-14-13
The story is developed in an interesting and intricate manner. The characters are all somewhat caricatures but taken together they make a fun story.

On May 13, 1945, 24 American servicemen and WACs boarded a transport plane for a sightseeing trip over “Shangri-La,” a beautiful and mysterious valley deep within the jungle-covered mountains of Dutch New Guinea. Unlike the peaceful Tibetan monks of James Hilton’s best-selling novel Lost Horizon, this Shangri-La was home to spear-carrying tribesmen, warriors rumored to be cannibals. But the pleasure tour became an unforgettable battle for survival when the plane crashed. Miraculously, three passengers pulled through.

Shallow Plot and Characters
Revisado: 01-18-09
A message that only fans of Alberto Gonzalez and Dick Chaney will appreciate is put forth through a shallow plot and shallow characters. Very uninspirational and a general waste of time.

Environmental devastation and economic chaos have turned America into a land of horrifying depravity. Assault, theft, sexual abuse, slavery, and murder are commonplace. And a zealous, bigoted tyrant has won his way into the White House. Directly opposed is Lauren Olamina, founder of Earthseed - a new faith that teaches "God Is Change". Persecuted for "heathen" beliefs as much as for having a Black female leader, Earthseed's followers face a life-and-death struggle to preserve their vision.

Convoluted Message
Revisado: 11-18-07
This attempt to anticipate an American Taliban consisting of members of "Christian America" is a shallow effort to address human weaknesses and strengths. It lacks meaningful insight or message and it is not an engaging enough story for pure entertainment.

Plot is weak and unnecessarily convoluted. The reader is overdramatic during the entire book.
