primitive piety

Another great book, being published in September, is Ian Stackhouse, Primitive Piety. A couple of comments from others will suffice today: ‘This is not a “nice” book. Do not read it if you like your life, your church and your God to be “nice”. But do read it if you want to be stirred, challenged, confronted and inspired to rediscover a gutsy, real, and authentic spirituality' - Emma Ineson.

‘A wonderfully vigorous book, which challenges the anodyne pieties of modern suburban Christianity. Strong, raw and honest. I am glad that I read it.' - Timothy Radcliffe. 'This book will provoke, stimulate, disturb and encourage its reader to constructively critique, reflect and help to engage with an issue that no serious believer can ignore.’ - Roy Searle. Is our Christianity too 'nice'? That's the question. How would you rate yours? How do I rate mine, in middle-class England? More strikingly, how does God rate it?
