The Irresistible Revolution

Living As an Ordinary Radical
Book • 2006
In this book, Shane Claiborne describes his vision for an authentic Christian lifestyle that combines belief, action, and love.

Drawing from his personal experiences, including time with Mother Teresa in Calcutta and his work with the Christian Peacemaker Team in Iraq, Claiborne invites readers into a movement of the Spirit that begins internally and extends into a broken world.

He advocates for a lifestyle that rejects materialism and nationalism, emphasizing living in loving and close community, voluntary redistribution of wealth, and socially and environmentally conscious consumer choices.

Claiborne's narrative is filled with personal anecdotes and quotations from influential figures, making a compelling case for 'ordinary radicals' to change the world through little acts of love.
