I had the opportunity to get a copy of Kary Oberbrunner’s new book The Fine Line. When it arrived in the mail I was instantly intrigued by its premise of re-envisioning the gap between Christ and culture. And what a gap it is at times.

The Fine Line poses this question: “What does it mean to be in the world, but not of it?” Answering correctly yields relevance, something the world deeply desires, but rarely sees.

I belive these conversations are critical and often misunderstood by followers of Jesus. Kary does a great job at presenting a balanced, thoughtful, and yet challenging case for Christians to re-engage and become culture creators.

Kary calls himself a “Recovering Pharisee” and currently leads Discipleship and Leadership Development at Grace Church.
