I’ve been writing a series in anticipation of Naked Spirituality’s release. I welcome your thoughts and improvements. Thank you Brian for challenging the Evangelical mind to address some inherent anomalies that a New Kind of Christianity addresses.
Here is my review of NS:

What a great book. Along with Naked Spirituality I have been reading The 12 steps of Alcoholics Anonymous and The Miracle of Mindfulness by Tich Nhat Hahn. By reading these along with Naked Spirituality I find that I am more a peace and much more Spiritual in nature. Thanks Brian for writing such a great book.
A great website for readers of Naked Spirituality:

This is a powerful book! I resonated personally from the opening pages to the last. I am 80 years of age….a minister of Pastoral Care for the Christian Church, (Disciples of Christ)…..having experienced many of life’s changes Brian talks about. Thank You….& bless you for sharing this tome of spiritual insight & Wisdom.

I have read all of your books and just finished Naked Spirituality. At age 63 and a recovering Southern Baptist, I could relate to all of the stages. I will be leading a three week on-line study and discussion of your book through the Wayne E. Oates Institute. We will certainly be using your website resources. If any one is interested in joining us or learning more about the Institute, which promotes the growth of spirituality go to http://www.oates.org.

I Stumbled across your books and have already read one, and now reading “Naked Spirituality” and think this would be a great one for our
small faith group to do, but since all of us are in our mid 50-60′s, need a
book with bigger or large print and can’t seem to find one in larger print.
Do any of your publishing companies print in a larger format,so we could
purchase them. Could you or someone help with this? And respond to
it. thank You!
