The Barbarian Way (book review)

November 9, 2011

The Barbarian Way by Erwin McManus

A Fearless and all out commitment drives revolutionaries; raw passion drives their followers. All too often once the victory is in sight that drive wanes.  And victory comes hard, if at all. Christians may have lost some of that drive by society’s taming.

Erwin McManus wasn’t raised in a Christian home, so when he came to Christ as a college student, he didn’t know the rules of the “religious club.” He didn’t do well in Shakespeare courses, so he didn’t really understand the KJV Bible he was given either. But he did understand that prayer was a conversation, and he learned to talk to God and wait for answers. Erwin’s way was passionate and rough around the edges – a sincere, barbaric journey to Christ. Barbaric Christians see Jesus differently than civilized Christians. They see disciples differently, and they see Christ’s mission differently.

The Barbarian Way is a call to escape “civilized” Christianity and become original, powerful, untamed Christians – just as Christ intended.
