Irresistible Quotes, Part 1

Yesterday was the introduction about Shane Claiborne's book, Irresistible Revolution. Here is the first set of quotes.

“There is a pervasive sense that things are not right in the world.”
“…most Christian artists and preachers have remained strangely distant from human suffering.”
“…rarely do we see that the sickness of the world has infected each of us.”
“This thing Jesus called the kingdom of God is emerging across the globe in the most unexpected places, a gentle whisper amid the chaos.”
“…the elephant and the donkey [think political party mascots] are the largest and the most stubborn of animals.”
“…the bear and the bull of Wall street are aggressive…”
“A pastor friend of mine said, ‘Our problem is that we no longer have martyrs. We only have celebrities.”
“Only God is awesome.”
“Dualism has infected the church, a dualism in which folks separate the spiritual from the political or social.”

All that, from the introduction.
