Soul graffiti - Mark Scandrette

"Scandrette guides us down a winding, beautiful path through an urban park of whole–life Jesus–y spirituality. It's a story–weaver's bountiful spread filled with chocolate and wine and artisan bread of the present Kingdom of God. See that the Lord is good, indeed."
Mark Oestreicher, president, Youth Specialties

"Through Mark's rich insights and reflections, and especially through his stories ? about Jack, Richard, Gary, Caroline, Emperor Arcadia (you'll never forget him!), Michelle, Beryl, and many others, you'll get an honest and inspiring view of what 'the emergent conversation' is really about, and what it's for."

Brian McLaren, author/activist (brianmclaren.net)

"Soul Graffiti is not so much a book as it is an encounter a deadly serious encounter with a Christianity that is urban, American, un–institutionalized, and now. If you truly like your own Christian walk just the way it is, you definitely should not read this book."

Phyllis Tickle, religion analyst and compiler, The Divine Hours

"Mark Scandrette guides us in this beautifully written and brilliantly illustrated book along a path towards actualized spirituality in a postmodern world. The book provides new avenues to ancient truths."

Tony Campolo, professor of sociology, Eastern University

"Soul Graffiti chronicles Mark Scandrette's brave exploration into an intentional, lived Christianity. In a world numb to religion, inhabiting the way of love may be the only apologetic left."

Sally Morgenthaler, www.trueconversations.com

"In Soul Graffiti, Mark Scandrette strips away the religious traditions that cloud our view of Jesus and gives us the courage to investigate the transformational message. If the challenge for churches and for individual followers of Christ is to live out the gospel, this is the help we need."
