Jesus for President in DC

// June 17th, 2008 // No Comments » // Event

Shane Claiborne (author of the Irresistible Revolution) and Chris Haw’s new book “Jesus for President” just came out a few months ago. It’s a book that insightfully seeks to grapple with the question, “How do we navigate our allegiance to state and our allegiance to Christ, especially when they come into conflict?”

I am on the coordinating team that is bringing the authors and some of their colleagues to DC to talk about the book and the topic. I hope you can come and will spread the word to your communities (publicity materials are available at http://www.jesusforpresidentindc.org/publicity)!

Friday, June 27 at 7PM
Calvary Baptist (755 8th St NW, Washington, DC)

Tickets are free, but you need to register at http://www.JesusforPresidentinDC.org.

Have no idea who Shane Claiborne is? You should definitely pick up a copy of Irresistible Revolution. I’ve personally given away over 200 copies of it. Check out the Jesus for President book reviews on the site as well http://www.JesusforPresidentinDC.org.

Please plan to come and don’t forget to spread the word to your friends. It’s going to be a great night!

Irresistible Revolution: Ordinary Radicals Wanted

// January 9th, 2007 // 1 Comment » // Event

I am working with a team of people who are planning a DC area book discussion surrounding the Irresistible Revolution: Living Life as an Ordinary Radical by Shane Claiborne. As you know, I am a huge fan of the book. My hope is that the gathering will help people further live-out the radical demand of loving our neighbors (and enemies) as ourselves. Here are the details:

January 27, 2006 11:00 AM
in First Baptist Church of Ballston
1031 N. Vermont Street
Arlington, VA 22201

More information is available at http://www.ordinaryradical.org (which I hope, will eventually become an online community allowing Ordinary Radicals across the globe to connect).
