UnChristian (The Book)

I'm currently reading the unChristian, by David Kinnaman. After the two introductory chapters, there is a chapter on each of 6 negative perceptions of Christians / Christianity - along with more desirable (and biblical) alternative to each.

The introductory chapters are confronting enough on their own. In the surveys that form the basis for the book, people described Christianity as judgemental (87%), hypocritical (85%) and insensitive to others (70%). Meanwhile, just 30% ticked 'relevant to your life'.

Surely this is a sign we're doing something (or at least 6 things) wrong.
