The Barbarian way was awesome;wish I had stonger words of putting this.I have had issues with the conventional domesticated version of Christianity being presented to us today for long.Its just too comfortable and convenient..I have always known there had to be more,God must have called us for more,Jesus must have died for more..This book brought this out extermely well. Thanks Erwin,We need the Mosaic vision in Africa. Am 22,a finalist in campus in Kenya.

John the Baptist was uncivilized but Jesus was not he had money he had friends he was most definitely not rich but he wasn't poor either. He did not go out of his way to be uncivilized it was the Pharisees who became uncivilized in their attempts to stop Jesus. Their are some people who are called to be radicals, but just because some are called that does not mean every christian is. I think that what is the most important thing about serving Christ is preaching the gospel no matter what the cost even if it is small, we should not be afraid of persecution, but we don't have to run toward it.

I now know the purpose for my birth. I know now why I was born in N.Y.C. and why I am the way I am. Revelation is always powerful. I preach this book everywhere I go. I am the poster child for this book. I've been in ministry for almost twenty years and this is the awaken I and the body needs to hear and experience. I do a question about two pictures if you would please contact me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for keeping it real. This book has completely changed my life.

I have marked many pages for quick refrence. I am reading it a second time and may read it a third time. I now begin to understand by what you discuss, as my desire to grow into more of a "Barbarian" leading me to have a more intimate relationship with my Creator. To be discerning to be an "experiencer" as well as Believer and ask for wisdom not get too institutionalized and sanitized from being in the trenches where Christ wants us planting the seed for His increase. You write, illustrate and describe the very type of spirituallity that makes me feel very full and alive in glorifying an undilluted almight God and my access to Him in Jesus the ultimate "Barbarain". John the Baptist was awesome in God's plan to minister before hand to sinners and set the stage for Jesus. I can keep going on...I also relate strongly to your dedication to Mariah and your experiences with her in adventure and allowing her faith to grow. Many times i have squashed dreams in my 12 and 15 year old daughters and will try to keep my mouth closed and ears open to listen to their dreams as their faith is unleashed...I loved this book as you hear in my comments and will get a few copies and provide to some of my Brothers in Christ...I thought about perhaps starting a bible study on this book. Erwin; continue to keep it real and true as you discern the Holy Spirit's insights for many of us to read from your writing gift. To our Lord's Glory!

It absolutely changed my life. I was on the run from the law and the Lord the first time I read it. I had realized the call on my life but did not respond. Shortly after I read your book the spirit lead me to turn myself in and I went to prison fo almost a year. In prison I became a disciple of Christ now I am part of this Barbarian way. I REFUSE TO BECOME CIVILIZED I WILL GO OUT INTO ALL THE WORLD AND SPREAD THE GOOD NEWS THAT HE LIVES! Erwin, I want to thank you for writting this book. It absolutely changed my life.

I have been carrying it with me everywhere I go and have been telling all my friends to read it. Thanks for reminding the body of Christ what the Tribe of Christ followers is all about. Jesus didn't come to save us from a physical death, he came to save us from a meaningless life. Very inspiring and true. Erwin, thanks for this awesome book!
