Join Shane Claiborne as he invites you to rediscover the biblical practice of loving your neighbor, using unconventional examples from his own life to stir up questions about the church and the world while challenging you to truly live out your faith.

In this updated and expanded edition of The Irresistible Revolution, bestselling author and activist Shane Claiborne challenges us to remember that the Great Commission sends us into the world not just to make believers but to form disciples who know how to love the way God calls us to.

In The Irresistible Revolution, Shane describes an authentic faith rooted in belief, action, and love, inviting us into a movement of the Spirit that begins inside each of us and extends into a broken world. He asks and answers key questions like:

How can I sustain my faith and combat burnout?Should Christians be involved in politics?How does God want me to spend my life?

With new material throughout the book, Shane adds new stories, shares what his community looks like now, and brings you fresh inspiration to live out this message in practical ways. Come join the revolution.

Praise for The Irresistible Revolution:

“Shane Claiborne is a living experiment–evangelical zeal mixed with grassroots activism; passion for Jesus mixed with prison time for feeding the poor. This is a rant for love, aimed at cowards seeking courage.”

–Aiden Enns, publisher, Geez Magazine

“Written with endearing humor and astonishing courage, The Irresistible Revolution describes a young man’s embrace of uncompromising commitment to Jesus’ teachings.”

–Kathy Kelly, author; cofounder of Voices in the Wilderness

From the Publisher

A Note from the Author

This is a book of stories. The things that transform us, especially us “postmoderns,” are people and experiences. Political ideologies and religious doctrines just aren’t very compelling, even if they’re true. And stories disarm us. They make us laugh and cry. It’s hard to disagree with a story, much less split a church or kill people over one.

These stories, whether from the streets of Philly or the hospitals of Iraq, are political, social, and spiritual. The issues we will stir up can be volatile and gut-wrenching. But I think there are enough of us so discontented with the old answers and traditional camps—whether believers or activists, capitalists or socialists, Republicans or Democrats, pacifists or just-warriors—that the risk is worth it.

The time has come for a new kind of conversation, a new kind of Christianity, a new kind of revolution.

—Shane Claiborne

Other Excellent Books by Shane Claiborne
Drawing on Scripture, church history, and his own story, Shane Claiborne explores how a passion for social justice issues surrounding life and death intersects with our faith as we advocate for life in its totality. A radical manifesto to awaken the Christian political imagination, reminding us that our ultimate hope lies not in partisan political options but in Jesus and the incarnation of the peculiar politic of the church as a “set apart” people. Designed to help individuals, families, and congregations pray together across denominations, this book of common prayer will help you and your community join together each day with the same songs, scriptures, and prayers. For all the Christians facing conflict between Jesus’ words and their own lives, for those who feel they rarely see Jesus’ commands reflected in the lives of his followers, here is a new kind of Christianity centered on the words of Jesus.
