This book is a must read for those in youth ministry, as it offers something much more than Mike Warren’s skeptical exploration of youth culture and actually recognises the theological themes that arise out of the questions and needs of the consumers. Tom also goes further to reflect on how we, as consumers relate to those who produce the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the cars we drive…

This book is an introduction to the bible for people who think that they know a little and want to know more, for people who know nothing and more importantly this is a great book for young people who want to begin exploring the bible. This is about the big picture, it talks about where in the bible the books fit, about where the books fit in our history, about who can be found in the books and then provides you with a few miscellaneous facts like: “Ben Shaw wanted to name his cat Habakkuk but his wife wouldn’t let him”

My Rating:

Eat this book is a text written to people who have become acutely aware of the ways that the words, poetry and metaphors in scripture have lost their life becoming just ink on a page and even more aware of the need for us and the Spirit to resurrect the words for our generation and world.

This book made my brain hurt, it stretched me, it pulled me in one direction, then it pulled me in another, it made me think, it made me feel , it invited me into a theological dialogue that I hadn’t entered into before. It said things that I thought I knew, then asked me why I knew them, it asked me to think about truth, God, faith, Christianity and then offered me not only a postmodern critique of the traditional understandings but instead offered me a postmodern creative answer to some of the mode prevalent modernistic religious arguments and issues of our time.
