Interrupted Workbook: When Jesus Wrecks Your Comfortable Christianity

by Jen Hatmaker

An Adventure in Relearning the Essentials of Faith - Member Book provides the learner a study resource for this young adult Bible study. The American Dream and Christianity Aren't the Same Thing! God is in the business of interrupting what we think our lives are about. Jen Hatmaker argues that we have missed the point, confusing Christianity with the American Dream and manipulating Scripture to say what we want it to say. Interrupted is about freedom from consumer-driven Christianity and getting back to the true faith, real life, real justice, real religion.

[Jen Liston · Rating 4 out of 5]

I felt like this book was an amazingly compelling case for reform in the way we apply "love your neighbor as yourself" and "whatever you have done of the least of these" in the American church. It mixed logic and proof texts excellently with personal life narratives and a slow progression of discovery told through story. Knowing what I do of Jen Hatmaker now and not realizing this was one of her much much earlier books, I wan't not prepared for the amount of orthodoxy still present and honestly I'm shocked that any part of this book could be considered radical or "progressive" in its theology, though I am sure it may have been at the time and still is in some circles. Definitely convicting as we look at the ways we treat the poor, homeless and prisoner, especially in comparison with our good fortune and incredible wealth in the US and US churches. I would recommend!
