"Coren tells us the stories of his fascinating life with clarity, self-deprecating wit, and page-turning verve." -- STEPHEN FRY From England's working class to high profile media personality, Michael Coren charts his encounters with people of faith, fame, and fortune.Michael Coren writes of his life leading up to entering the seminary and being ordained. Growing up in a working-class mixed-religion family, then entering a career in media, Coren was, and in some ways still is, the consummate outsider. He records his encounters and work with Oscar-winning writers, celebrities, and authors, and his early successes as a journalist.After marrying and settling in Canada, Coren became a darling of the Christian right, with his TV and radio shows and syndicated column. He describes his shift to more progressive Christianity and politics, and what happened personally and professionally when this occurred.Not just a humble admission of fault, but an articulate and convincing account of a spiritual awakening.

Michael Coren explores what Jesus said about the pressing issues of his and our day. Jesus may not have mentioned sexuality, but he welcomed the marginalized; he never spoke of social security, but did criticize the wealthy. This was Jesus the rebel, who turned the world upside down and who today demands that his followers do the same.

The real Jesus was a rebel, a radical, and a revolutionary. Contrary to conservative Christian narratives today, the rebel Christ wasn't about judgment but forgiveness, not about rejection but inclusion. Michael Coren reveals what the real Jesus would say about the hot-button issues dividing Christians.

"Thank you for the tears dear brother! Yes, that is what I have just shed. After reading your deeply moving stories. What stories Michael. I have just sent them round our office staff and the tears are flowing - with gratitude for the marvelous goodness of God. Thank you for your friendship." -RAVI ZACHARIAS "Michael Coren is abundantly worth reading. His unique perspectives open up whole new vistas on the Christian faith. We are fortunate to have this new book from him." -TONY CAMPOLO "Sometimes laughter, sometimes confrontation, always informative and intellectually stimulating. Michael skillfully nudges me into thinking laterally about issues small and great. His newspaper columns, his books published in many languages and his personal appearances have the same practical, attitude-changing impact." -DAVID MAINSE Michael Coren, well known journalist, TV/radio host and author of more than 10 books, including a popular C.S. Lewis biography, takes a cue from the master story teller himself, borrowing from one of his great titles and delivering some Lewis-style, inspiring stories of his own. Mere Christian is a collection of heart warming stories and strong opinions with a refreshing perspective on God's presence in the life of every believer. This book contains some of Michael's best insights and wit. It's filled with carefully woven reflections on Christendom's most controversial subjects,and moving anecdotes that will bring the reader into contact with ordinary people who experience the extraordinary work of God in their every-day lives.
