I’m planning for a teaching a series in November on consumerism and the Christian faith. The human desire for more, more, more creeps into our faith and then into our expectations of church … (more on that later!)
Since I’ve been wrestling with these issues and trying to think through hard questions about our culture, I was struck by Scot McKnight’s review of the new book, The Divine Commodity: Discovering a Faith Beyond Consumer Christianity
Dr. McKnight has initiated a great discussion at his blog, Jesus Creed, with the question, “Is saying, ‘We’re here for you,’ a mark of a consumerist church?” As is often the case at his blog, the comments section is rich with good insights and discussion. Check it out and join me in the discussion there!

Shouldn’t any book titled “The Divine Commodity” at least be available as a free download?
