Inconvient Gospel
I keep reading it over and over. I gave copies to others in my circle.
The Inconvenient Gospel
A Southern Prophet Tackles War, Wealth, Race, and Religion
Edited by Frederick L. Downing
Clarence didn’t set out to be convenient.
This collection gathers his talks and writings—plainspoken, rooted in Scripture, and unwilling to settle for an easy faith. He speaks to questions of war, wealth, race, and religion in a way that still presses on us today.
There’s a clarity to Clarence. A way of seeing that cuts through the noise and asks what the Gospel actually looks like when lived.
As one who shares in the life of the community he cofounded, I can say this: his words don’t sit still. They move you. They ask something of you. And if you let them, they may change you.
Details:
A good guide—if you’re willing to be led.

I love this edition of Clarence Jordan’s writing. The selections are short, which allows for frequent reads and rereads, but such is the consistency of Jordan’s ideas and the clarity of his expression is that every sentence seems to carry the DNA of his larger project, and my mind turns often to how I can live out his teachings.
