About You: Fully Human, Fully Alive


Dick Staub


"We yearn to be fully alive and fully human, but the very fact that we yearn for this means it is not an actuality. We want to be more than we are, but are somehow less than we should be. We feel less than fully human, which is another way of saying we have somehow been dehumanized." --from the Preface

In About You, Dick Staub addresses irreligious, religious, spiritual seekers, and all kinds of Christians, and shows us that Jesus came to satisfy our universal longing for a fully human life, not to establish a narrow us-versus-them religion. In short, Jesus didn't come to make us Christian; Jesus came to make us fully human. In a fresh exploration of the ancient Biblical stories of creation, fall, and redemption, Staub explains that salvation is not about going to heaven when we die; it is about a full and abundant life now. In practical, down-to-earth language, About You deals with this concept on three levels: anthropologically (our common story and universal human needs), theologically (God's awareness and response to our needs), and practically (how we can attain and maintain a more complete and satisfying life).

Jerusalem, Jerusalem: How the Ancient City Ignited Our Modern World Label

Jerusalem, Jerusalem: How the Ancient City Ignited Our Modern World


James Carroll


Jerusalem is a Gordian knot.  Author James Carroll's latest book, Jerusalem, Jerusalem unlocks for us the way in which the ancient city became a transcendent fantasy that continues to ignite religious fervor.  Jerusalem has been a sacred place and a place of conflict for at least 3000 years.  For centuries the European fixation on a heavenly Jerusalem has sparked both anti-semitism and apocalyptic mayhem into the Western mind.  The conquest of the city in WWI relit the fuse for the war that still rages.  The City on the Hill continues to shape our lives today.  Reviewed by Cathy Hutcheson, volunteer.
