Hipster Christianity

I must admit - the title, along with those that had reviewed this book, were the reasons why I chose to read it. However, by the end I had a completely new attitude and way of thinking towards church and """"cool"""". \\r\\nAlthough part one is almost half of the book and quite difficult to read, McCracken shows extensive knowledge in the history and evolution of """"cool"""" and with this knowledge, the rest of the book gains more meaning. \\r\\nMcCracken then excellently and objectively begins to link church with """"cool"""". He also asks the question, is it possible to be """"cool"""" and a Christian? Each point of discussion is heavily founded in biblical concepts and McCracken isn't afraid to be frank or go against the grain in order to stay true to the Word. \\r\\nI would highly suggest this book to all youth ministers and even ministers, pastors or leaders of the church. McCracken challenges readers to think about their motivations and reasons for doing or not doing certain things in church for the sake of being """"cool"""".
