Real Christians Don't Dance Author:John Fischer First of all, do not be mislead by the title. On the book cover, the word "don't" is crossed out in red ink, and an exclamation point is added after the word "dance". This book is written by John Fischer, veteran songwriter of Christian Music long before anyone was ever talking about something called "Contemporary Christian Music". (Chances are ... more »if you've been to a church retreat or camp, you may well have sung one of his around the campfire.) He is also a popular speaker and talented writer of fiction and non-fiction (a longtime columnist for "CCM" magazine). He writes as one who has grown up in within the Evangelical Christian sub-culture and has had to sort out just what in his life was really his and truly Christian, and what is simply traditions handed down to him. In the book, he likens the process to peeling the skin off an orange; he has to sort out the juicy part from the white stuff surrounding it, deciding what to keep and what to discard. _Real Christians Don't Dance_ is a collection of personal essays and reflections centered more or less on the theme of sorting out what in the Christian life is real. As one who has been through the same sorting out process, I heartily recommend this book.« less
