Product Description

*please visit 10thingsihate.com for more info* A note from the author: Hate:(n) a feeling of dislike so strong that it demands action* My dad never let me use the word hate. He said it sounded too violent. But it was often the only accurate description of how I felt. Part of me understood, but another part of me rebelled. We can all feel hate. Even in the good, productive, and meaningful aspects of life, there’s frequently a level of frustration that overwhelms us when we are faced with trying to achieve certain goals—like getting in shape, making the grade, or straightening out our finances. This is where I got stuck in my spirituality. Within these pages are the 10 things I’ve hated about Christianity over the years and how I’ve worked through my frustrations. I call it the intersection of real life, simple faith, and raw emotion. Maybe you’ll see yourself here too. *WordNet® Princeton University lexical database for the English language

5.0 out of 5 stars An honest book, April 3, 2009
I struggle with certain aspects of Christianity. If you want to know what I'm talking about, read this book (though I reserve the right to change my mind at anytime).

This book systematically verbalized what I believe. I found myself talking out loud while I read this book. "Yes!" "Exactly." And then I would laugh at a comment he would make about, say, country music, or something. As each chapter went on I would wonder if I could really agree with more of what this guy has to say? And I did - on the big things anyways.

The name is a bit of a misnomer, as it seems like this book is going to take a negative approach to things. Instead, it is an honest look at some of our shortcomings and some of the most difficult questions relating to this religion. It does not claim to have all the answers, but it does have some good ones nonetheless.

This is an easy book to read. With three kids running around the house, I had to put the book down often, but was able to pick up right where I left off. It held my interest (which I struggle with these days with nonfiction books). It is applicable. It is quotable.

So, if you have questions relating to this religion. Or are a seasoned Christian looking for something good to read. Or are curious at all about this book. Or are looking for something that's - for once - not all touchy feely or claiming to have ALL the answers, I would highly recommend this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith, June 13, 2009
By Darrell L. Jordan (Richmond, Ky United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
We all struggle at times with our faith and we sometimes have problems explaining our faith to others. Jason's book covers some of the biggest problem areas we face as a Christian. No matter if it is faith, heaven, hell or 7 other areas, Jason goes over each and why it is hard for him believing in these areas.

Jason is very transparent in his writing and in his life on why these are important for us. Jason talks about friends he has lost to his relationship with his dad and his wife. This is Jason's first book but it is well written.

The thing I liked is that these are also many areas I struggle with. Sometimes I don't think of how my struggles in these areas effect people around me but after reading this book I see how they do. I need to go back and study this book now so I realize how much my actions impact those around me. Christians or not.

This book really needs to go on your list to read and soon.

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting, but not what I thought., September 10, 2009
By Kay Pixie (Michigan) - See all my reviews
While I appreciate the author's approach, I didn't find his personal resolutions to be any different from what I've heard from others. If you are reading this from a standpoint of being a person who is having a hard time finding the Christian perspective to be something you can accept, I think you will be disappointed if you are hoping to find a kindred spirit. If you are intent on remaining a Christian and want to find ways to be ok with some things you struggle with, you will probably be able to relate more to the author.
