Things God does and doesn't care about -- Do justice: service and beyond -- Love kindness: don't be an asshat -- Walk humbly, with your head held high -- A church that doesn't suck.
Summary:
"The world is full of good-hearted heathens, those who love people and those who want to do good in the world. They're not against God--they just have no use for church. Church is boring and hypocritical. Plus, who wants to sit through a sermon every week? But while organized religion doesn't appeal to them, these heathens long for a connection to something bigger than themselves: meaning, community, mission. Pastor Jerry Herships leads a church-ish community full of good-hearted heathens. They may hate church, but they love sitting around a bar talking about what really matters and doing some good for their city's poorest residents. Herships takes that experience and absolves other former churchgoers of their guilt. No, you don't have to go to church to love and serve God. Yes, God still loves you and wants to help you love the world"--Goodreads.com.
