Book Description
David Hayward, aka nakedpastor, has published his first book of cartoons. This book contains 101 of his best and most provocative cartoons, including 10 new ones exclusive to this book.Here's what people are saying:“What another creative communicator did with parables, David Hayward does with cartoons… I'm a big fan!” Brian McLaren“David Hayward says in pictures what I would love to say in words. There are times when all the words in the word don't say it as well a rightly crafted image. David Hayward says more of the hopes of God, the struggles of the church and the possible path forward for us all in images than anyone could with words.” Doug Pagitt“David Hayward does what cartoonists do best: he makes you laugh, gets you on side, and then catches you unawares with a challenging thought that comes at you sideways. Unmissable!” Maggi Dawn“Through nakedpastor's cartoons, I've been able to join other broken buddies as we pray and play on the fringes of the faith. By deconstructing the mounds of Jesus junk, we can catch fleeting glimpses of God.” Becky Garrison“David's cartoon's are often funny, sometimes sad, always honest. I think of them as political cartoons that aren't about politics: they express a longing or a frustration or challenge to think in a new way.” Mark Oestreicher

The Idolatry of God

Author: Peter Rollins
Publisher: Simon and Schuster
ISBN: 1451609027
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 233

Book Description
We must lay down our certainties and honestly admit our doubts to identify with Jesus. Rollins purposely upsets fundamentalist certainty in order to open readers up to a more loving, active manifestation of Christ's love. He explores how the Good News actually involves embracing the idea that we can't be whole, that life is difficult, and that we are in the dark. By joyfully embracing our brokenness, and courageously accepting the difficulties of existence, we truly rob death of its sting and enter into the fullness of life.

Book Description
David Hayward - the 'Naked Pastor' - is one of the most prolific Christian cartoonists of the online world. Describing himself as 'a graffiti artist on the walls of religion' with the aim of 'helping people undress religion to the core essential of their own unique spirituality', his immediately-recognisable images are shared by thousands across social media every day. This book uses David's cartoons and accompanying text to tell his own story from being a 'Closed' Christian, with a black and white, fundamentalist view of the world to the freedom of becoming an 'Open' Christian with the courage to ask questions and wrestle with some of the tougher challenges of faith.

The Truth About Tithing

Author: Cynthia McClaskey
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1477201351
Category : Reference
Languages : en
Pages : 85

Book Description
The Truth About Tithing is designed to give the reader a thorough understanding of tithing in a quick and easy to read book. Using scripture and church history, McClaskey reveals the true nature of the church system and its abuse of this Old Testament Law that only applied to the tribes of Israel. Great care has been taken to scripturally answer the following questions: 1) What is the tithe? 2) Who was supposed to tithe? 3) Who do the tithes really belong to? 4) Were Gentiles supposed to tithe? 5) Is the tithe money? 6) Did God command everyone to tithe? 7) Why are churches teaching that it is mandatory to tithe? Some of the points that McClaskey raises in this book are eye-opening; the conclusions that she draws, astounding. Once one sees the truth behind the lies of the religious system, one can't help but question other doctrines of the church. This is a must read for all denominations.
