Becoming a dragon is a dangerously subtle process.
You make a long chain of bad choices. The chain gradually wraps around you. Layer by layer, it begins to take on the aspect of scales. One day you glance at yourself in the mirror and a monster is staring back at you. You aren't who you used to be. You aren't who you want to be. You're not who you were created and designed to be. Instead, you're a dragon.
When Jim Burgen was nineteen years old, he realized how easy it had been to become a dragon. He knew he didn't want to be one anymore . . . but how? No More Dragons is the story of our common, hopeful journey from dragonhood back to personhood.
As Pastor Burgen narrates the remarkable process of reclaiming himself from himself, he implores modern church goers to shake off the trivialities of churchiness in favor of the substantive questions that make a spiritual transformation:
"Is Jesus the only one who can undragon people?"
"Why don't I like most churches?"
"Where is God in difficult times?"
"How do you shed decades of gnarly scales?"
Some choices will lead you to a better life. Some will kill you. Some choices will add a new layer of scales to your dragon, and some will slough them off. No More Dragons is about asking Christ to deliver you and learning how to obey him.

Описание: AS THE YOUNGEST-EVER OP-ED COLUMNIST FOR "The New York Times," Ross Douthat has emerged as one of the most provocative and influential voices of his generation. In "Bad Religion "he offers a masterful and forceful account of how American Christianity has lost its way and why it threatens to take American society with it. In a world populated by pray and grow rich gospels and Christian cults of self-esteem, Ross Douthat argues that America s problem isn t too much religion; nor is it intolerant secularism. Rather, it s "bad religion." Conservative and liberal, political and pop cultural, traditionally religious and fashionably spiritual Christianity s place in American life has increasingly been taken over, not by atheism, but by heresy: debased versions of Christian faith that stroke our egos, indulge our follies, and encourage our worst impulses. In a brilliant and provocative story that moves from the 1950s to the age of Obama, Douthat explores how bad religion has crippled the country s ability to confront our most pressing challenges and accelerated American decline."
