"Just [when] you thought Jesus was coming again toting a gun" a renowned reverend "remind[s] us to look for the real thing—the Jesus who spoke of love" (Bill Moyers, Emmy and Peabody Award–winning journalist).
"How did it all begin?"
"What happens when we die?"
These are just two of the questions Reverend Oliver "Buzz" Thomas hears centrist Christians asking as he travels across the US and he knows that their voices are not being heard. They're people of faith, not of politics, and they want more from their religion than a voter's guide.
In 10 Things Your Minister Wants to Tell You (But Can't Because He Needs the Job), Rev. Thomas has written a book that is the liberal Christian answer to how live a purposeful life. He writes sensitively about the reason we were put on this earth, the significance of the Bible and how one pleases God. He answers difficult, contemporary questions like "What about homosexuality?" and "What about other faiths?" Rev. Thomas weaves a Christian theology for today that people will embrace as a guide to sensible, modern living.
"Clear and engaging. . . . Taking on popular religious writers like Tim LaHaye and Rick Warren, Thomas argues against many conservative interpretations of biblical texts." —Publishers Weekly
"As a lifelong advocate for justice . . . Rev. Oliver Thomas has never been afraid to challenge the status quo." —Marian Wright Edelman, President and Founder of the Children's Defense Fund
"Buzz Thomas makes God accessible even for those who find church difficult." —Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, former General Secretary of the National and World Councils of Churches
"A fascinating read, regardless of religious or political affiliation." —Book Page
