The Very Good Gospel by
Lisa Sharon Harper is not my typical read. I usually shy away from evangelical,
overly religious seeming books. But, I chose this book because she is a writer
for Sojourners magazine. I was not
disappointed.
I enjoyed her fresh take on faith, church, and
redemption. It was refreshing to hear
from an evangelical beliefs that I hold as a
mainline Protestant. it was quite evident throughout this book that her
beliefs on structural and political (in)justice, peacemaking , and living
faithfully aren't just beliefs, but the way she chooses to live her life. Her
long history of being an active part of change, including a 21 day fast,
increase her credibility on this topic.
Overall, I would say I very much enjoyed this book and will
definitely be picking this book up on occasion when I feel called to do so. I
would give this book 4/5 stars.
**I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an
