Product Description

Remember when I sent you out with no money, no pack, not even sandals? Did you lack anything?
(Luke 22:35)

From the same writing team of The Dust Off Their Feet comes a fresh exploration of the life of Jesus with retelling of the timeless narrative found in The Gospel of Luke. Not Even Sandals recovers the passion, grit, humor, and beauty have been lost in our translations of Luke. This stands alone among narratives as a supernatural action-adventure. Brian McLaren recaptures what was lost as he retells this spiritual adventure with power and grace to read like a screenplay. Brian, as only he can do, provides an overlay of historical and theological observations to enrich the story. McLaren and Seay are two of the driving forces in the reinvigorate worship found in the newer churches.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fall in love with the Story of Jesus all over again...or for the first time, September 20, 2007
The Voice of Luke: Not Even Sandals (The Voice) by Brian McLaren -- This is absolutely my favorite offering from The Voice so far. Brian McLaren does a masterful job of translating the book of Luke and offering devotional commentary in this stunning volume (Brian worked with a committee of Biblical scholars to ensure the accuracy of the translation, though this is by no means a word-for-word translation). Brian's work here is absolutely beautiful. In this book, he re-captured my imagination and re-invigorated my passion for the story of Jesus. When I finished it, I immediately grabbed The Voice of Acts: The Dust Off Their Feet: Lessons from the First Church (Voice) back off of my shelf because I was so engaged with the story. If you have lost your passion for reading scripture, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Fall in love with the story of Jesus all over again, or even for the first time.The Voice of Luke: Not Even Sandals (The Voice)

5.0 out of 5 stars Relevant, Profound, Insightful, September 26, 2007
By Richard R. Blake (Bridgman, Michigan) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
"The Voice of Luke" is another of the titles in "the Voice" series, a scripture project to rediscover the story of the Bible, translated for a time of transition in the contemporary church.

Holistic in approach the readings take into consideration the heart, soul, and mind of man. The book includes commentary by the author Brian McLarnen, with additional devotional thoughts. These reflections challenge the reader to identify themselves as revolutionary disciples and followers of Christ,in the same measure as those disciples of the first century. The work respects cultural shifts, accuracy, and diversity.

Voices and dialog are arranged for easy recognition as in a script for a drama production. This approach draws the reader into the passage. I found a resonance as I begin to interact with the "players" whether, Peter and Jesus, John, Matthew or Luke.

The devotional notes throughout the narrative give insight for application, inspiration, and challenge. "The Voice of Luke" is an enjoyable reading experience, stimulating, engaging and transformative. This is relevant orthodoxy for emerging church.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource, January 17, 2008
By Matthew J. Wilson (Newark, DE United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I really can't recommend enough the Voice project. The material that continues to come out is amazing and from what I hear of what is to come out soon will just add to the great resources already available.

This continuing of excellent material continues with Brian McLaren's The Voice of Luke: Not Even Sandals. McLaren explores a narrative retelling of the Gospel story according to Luke. This book really gives the feel, emotion, meaning, and the "experiential" way of communicating the story of Jesus.

This project is more then a translation or a paraphrase but more a retelling and the structure and feel is more of a screenplay, which makes for interesting and sometimes more engaging way of reading. The devotional thoughts or basically McLaren's commentary throughout the whole book really is a highlight of the reading and helps with the retelling of the story. McLaren is get with bringing the reader in and really engaging the reader. McLaren ties in the themes going on and even consistently brings you back to the idea of "not even sandals" and develops that as the book goes on (I'll leave it to you to read the book to learn more about what McLaren is talking about).

Again, I can't speak enough about the effectiveness of this resource and its ability for retelling the story and engaging a new kind of reader to Scripture. This is a great resource for youth ministry, personal reading, devotional reading, bible studies, and even used in periods of worship.
