Summary: The Key to Real Christlikeness
Comment: Greg Boyd has come through with great insight into the shortcomings of the try harder method of transformation.It just doesn't produce genuine or lasting results.His answer, "imaginative prayer" introduces the reader to the way of intimacy with God that many of the true friends of Jesus throughout the history of the church have taken and found to be the path to real transformation. There is nothing "New Age" about this. Yes it is different from what we are used to, but a fair evaluation using both wisdom and revelation will reveal that Greg Boyd is only after connecting believers with the real Jesus. Get this book and read it. Then read it again and begin to implement what you read. It is truly transforming.Jesus is real and yes he is with us, literally, in every aspect of our lives.

Summary: Response to another reviewer on this site
Comment: Gregory Boyd has, in the past, written that God doesn't know the future and that monotheism is false (he prefers to believe that Satan and his demons are literally gods with whom our god is engaged in war with - see his book "God at War.") This man is bad news and his teachings should be avoided.
That said, I'm disappointed that another reviewer on this site - who claims to be a member of the Baptist General Conference, to which I also belong - would say that the sum total of Christian spirituality is reading dry tomes on Reformed theology. Hello, prayer, anyone? Didn't Paul say to pray without ceasing, didn't Jesus spend 40 days in fasting and prayer, etc.? When I read comments like that, it's no wonder why people with more artistic and introspective sensibilities find our evangelical churches to be lacking in depth. These entrenched anti-spirituality sentiments make a market for folks like Boyd. What we need is a genuine attempt to reclaim spirituality that is in harmony with the Bible; I'm not sure if this whole "Emergent" movement is going to make it (my sense is that it will not, but will be remembered merely as a quizzical attempt to fuse traditions from various denominations in a tacky, post-modernist consumerist manner), but it shows a real need. Let's just hope people like Boyd don't fill it.

Summary: Boyd is a Gnostic
Comment: Looks like Pastor Boyd has embraced the old Gnostic heresies of seeking to divine special insights or knowledge by practicing imaginative or contemplative methods. (The epistles of Peter and John warn about the false teachers. So does the Book of Galatians (Paul.))
With all due respect..... this is New Age Hinduism with Christian terminology. And I am very disappointed that Boyd, with all his education and background in Baptist General Conference theology, has turned away from simply preaching the gospel. (1 Cor Ch. 15:1-6).
Pastor Boyd's new book follows in the footsteps of Richard Foster, Brennan Manning and a host of others who have invaded the church and convinced undiscerning Christians that mere bible study is not enough. Imagine the possibilities. Visualize God. Health and wealth. Intimacy with God. Repeat "Jesus, Jesus" over and over and get closer to Him.
Why do preachers sell this heresy? Because seekers are bored with simply studying the bible which teaches perseverance, suffering, and the fact that Christians will have trials in this life. Instead, in our McDonald's instant gratification culture, they demand more experiences, feelings, and self-fulfillment in the here and now. Pastors get rich and can build big churches spewing this rubbish to unsuspecting, bible-illiterate seekers. And these seekers have found teachers who will teach such garbage to their itching ears. (2 Timothy 4:3).
I expect Boyd's next book to be co-written with Deepak Chopra. God help this world. We are fast approaching the one world church predicted in the Book of Revelation and one can start to predict who will be its leaders.
