Provocative Faith, Matthew Paul Turner *

'Walking away from the ordinary'

Matthew Turner, former editor of CCM mag and also Christian Coffeehouse manager & venue specialist. This fellow has grown up in the Christian subculture and of late has been learning how to break out of it.

The best part of the book was the recounting of the many interviews that he has conducted. It's a great glimpse into the hearts and minds and real issues of "famous" Christians.

Some of it came off as whiny & angsty - "If only..." kind of stuff. But what was encouraging was the fact that God has placed him on a journey of recovery from the subculture to living for the Father in the midst of real community and with many seekers of truth.
