After You Believe, by NT Wright

Recommendation for a great book to read:

After You Believe, by NT Wright

NT Wright's book, After You Believe, is a wonderful and challenging book for all of us who strive to be Christian, and especially, after we have wondered what it is that we should do, and be, "after we believe."  This is a wonderful book that enumerates a vision of the Christian Life that takes seriously the richness and truth of our tradition, and also takes seriously the difficulty of living out our faith in our "everyday world."  Truth be told, I am still digesting this book, but I have assimilated enough to recommend it highly ... a wonderful and challenging read.  Read it.

~The Rev. Peter M. Carey

Here is a clip of Wright talking about another of his books, "Simply Christian,"...and I hope he will soon post an interview about After You Believe...
