I'm Okay - You're Not

I saw this on The Shepherd's Scrapbook...a review of a book by John Shore called I'm Ok - You're Not. To be clear upfront, I am NOT recommending this book. If you decide to buy it and read it, well...anyone is free to waste their own time I guess.

The funny thing about this is that I actually reviewed this book for publication by Zondervan, and rejected it for the very same reasons that this guy talks about in his blog. Interesting. To be honest, I'm totally amazed that NavPress (The Navigators) published this book. It's terrible in almost every way you can imagine.

In a nutshell, it pits the Great Comission against the Great Commandment and says we should abandon sharing the gospel in favor of "loving" people. Which is just meaningless, liberal theology, mumbo-jumbo... Of course, it does fit in with postmodern evangelism rather nicely.
