It describes and advocates what the author argues to be a truly [[Christianity|Christian]] lifestyle. The author draws on his personal experience, including time spent in [[Kolkata|Calcutta, India]] with [[Mother Teresa]], a trip with a [[Christian Peacemaker Team]] to Iraq during the 2003 US-led bombing campaign, and life in a communal house, [[The Simple Way]], in Philadelphia, to describe the way he feels Christians ought to be living, the ways in which many currently are not, and the ways in which many are beginning to do so, the Revolution referenced in the title. The lifestyle Claiborne proposes rejects materialism and nationalism and emphasizes living in loving and close community with Christians and non-Christian, a voluntary redistribution of wealth along the lines of [[Early Christianity]], and socially and environmentally conscious consumer choices, all based on love for God and love for all humans.<br /> <br /> Claiborne&#039;s writing style relies heavily on personal anecdotes and quotations from Mother Teresa, [[Martin Luther King Jr.]], theologians and writers such as [[Walter Wink]], [[John Howard Yoder]], [[Francis of Assisi]], and [[C.S. Lewis]], as well as [[The Bible]].<br /> <br /> The book begins with a foreword by [[Jim Wallis]].<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhKDBLklin8 Video of Claiborne reading the book]<br /> *[https://web.archive.org/web/20080309034426/http://www.thesimpleway.org/shane/]<br /> *{{cite book|last=Claiborne|first=Shane|title=The Irresistible Revolution: Living as an Ordinary Radical|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=70hRLTVBNnAC&amp;pg=PP1|year=2006|publisher=Harper Collins|isbn=978-0-310-26630-3|page=1}}<br /> {{Shane Claiborne}}<br /> <br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Irresistible Revolution}}<br /> [[Category:2006 non-fiction books]]<br /> [[Category:American non-fiction books]]<br /> [[Category:American autobiographical novels]]<br /> [[Category:Books about India]]<br /> [[Category:Books about the 2003 invasion of Iraq]]<br /> [[Category:Books by Shane Claiborne]]<br /> [[Category:Books on Christian missions]]<br /> [[Category:Christian radicalism]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{Christian-book-stub}}<br /> {{2000s-autobio-novel-stub}}</div>
