Ben Dünyanın En Şanslı Annesiyim - Shannon Cullen TrendKitaplar Kütüphanesi

Author Rubel Shelly has it right. Jesus was someone everyone wanted to know - before he became a Christian. While this title may seem irreverent, it isn't. Shelly is just telling it like it is - Christians have destroyed the name of Christ. Too harsh? Nope. He's spot on. In I Knew Jesus Before He was a Christian, the author asks the question why church is so unattractive to so many people and attempts to show where we got lost. He does a great job of it too. Is the author anti-church? Not at all. He's more about the body of Christ remembering their biblical mandate in the world and getting back to how the early church functioned. Rubel Shelly explores a model for thinking of church in terms that are more personal than institutional. He explores the history of the church and accurately states, "So long as church is a place or a series of events on certain days and at certain times, it will continue to have minimal-to-decreasing influence for changing the world." The body of Christ is the church, unfortunately we have not been united as a body for some time. We are Catholic, Anglican, Baptist, Pentecostal, etc. and our differences in worship and beliefs are vast. Accept the one belief that holds us together - that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour and He died to save us from our sins. Until we get back to that central message of hope and give up the many rules, rituals and regulations that make church so boring and unapproachable, we are failing our Lord in our mandate to spread the Gospel. This book has so much more to say and I admit it has me thinking. I highly recommend it.

I loved this author's earlier The Darwin Conspiracy (though not so much his first novel, Neanderthal), so pounced on this when I came across it. A series of murders in the building of the New York Globe (i.e., the New York Times, where Darnton has for a long time been an illustrious fixture) shocks all the journos and indeed the nation. The tale is full of roman a clef elements -- no prizes for guessing who's the prototype for Antipodean media mogul Lester Moloch, for example -- but that's just icing on what proves, after a sticky first 50 or so pages, to be a very delectable cake. Those early pages are annoying because Darnton opts for a cheap way of trying to keep our attention -- repeating wacky urban-legend-style journo tales. Because the tales actually are funny/bizarre/whatever, this first part of the book isn't boring: it's just that I got fed up by the fact that as good a writer as Darnton can be was so lacking in confidence as to be resorting to this tactic. The early part of the book is, too, marred by P.D. James-esque orotundity. That hurdle over, the book got better and better. I laughed out loud quite a few times (as when the Globe boss, a man with a rare talent for mauling quotes, came out with "The only thing we have to worry about is worry itself", p198); meanwhile, I was turning the pages avidly to find out what was going to happen next. Great stuff.
