Colossians Remixed was the fad book among my friends a few years ago. I went into this book expecting it to be a quick and easy read, as most fad books are. It was not. But it was definitely worth taking the time to slowly read through it and digest its contents. Colossians Remixed is the exploration of three narratives competing for attention in today's world. The first is Globalism, or "cybernetic global optimism," as the authors like to call it. It is belief in the story that the interconnectivity of the world and the technological progresses being made will reform humanity. Things are looking up. The second narrative in the ring is Postmodernism. It is the suspicion of any "metanarrative," or attempt to explain why things are the way they are. Human history has failed time and time again, and this perspective is tired of being lied to. All in all, things are looking down. The third narrative explored, and promoted, in Colossians Remixed is Alternate Empire. Just as the original recipients of Colossians lived in the midst of a powerful empire, the authors of Colossians Remixed argue that we live under a similar "empire" today. Empires have some common ties around them. They are systemic centralizations of power, controlling by use of force. They exert oppressive socioeconomic control over those without power. To those on the fringes or outside their borders they exert oppressive military control, calling it "peace" (The Pax Romana, the Pax Americana). Empires saturate their residents with "imperial" imagery, reminding them who is in control, who has the power, who is "god." After fleshing out how Rome and America both share many of these elements of empire in their respective ages, the authors go on to show how Colossians served as a rallying call for early Christians living in empire to reject the empire's claims to power and authority. Instead of serving the empire with Caesar as Lord, they formed their own alternate empire with Jesus as Lord. Features of this alternate empire included building strong community with each other, withdrawing from participation in the empire's violence and economic control, concern for ecology, promotion of freedom and liberation, and identifying with those who suffer. Of course the authors make a strong case for those of us who follow Jesus today to follow the same principles. Develop community. Identify economically oppressive structures and withdraw from them. Refuse to participate in violence. Promote freedom and liberation, especially of those enslaved in various ways by the empire. And become comfortable with the idea that we may be called to suffer.

Ever questioned the widely accepted idea that violence is part of human nature? Tired of believing war is inevitable? Have a desire to learn of real solutions from the personal to global level that will help humanity turn the tide from violence-based conflict resolution to authentic peace-building? Nagler's book is chock full of inspiring anecdotes, amazing moments in history you never learned, and provocative theories about the efficacy of nonviolence. If you're looking for a plan of action for the "audacity of hope" that burns within you, or if nothing else, you seek some original thought (this stuff ain't mainstream), look no further than any page of this wonderful book, winner of the 2002 American Book Award.

The historical content of this story intrigued me. I was pleased to learn some new things about the Tiffany Companies as well as Clara Driscoll, the Clara in the title. Other reviewers have made comments about the details of the lamp-making, window-making, and glass blowing described in the book. I admit that I, too, found them sometimes tedious. Vreeland used correct terminology, I'm sure, but I feel like she always went a little too far into her descriptions of the art and would lose the reader. A little less and it would have been perfect. Vreeland's style of writing does not appeal to me, for a few reasons. One, she loves to use commas and make lists. Typically, a writer will included the standard three items in a list, sometimes four, but Vreeland always exceeded that number. It drew attention to the list but it always made me wonder, did she really have to list all those things? A second reason that Vreeland's writing doesn't work for me is the way she writes dialogue. She rarely states who is speaking, let alone gives descriptions of the way anything is said. It makes for very confusing reading sometimes, trying to go back and figure out who said what. Part of this is that you can't hear the characters voices when you read; they all sound terribly similar. Clara was the narrator of this story, but I am surprised at how little I know about her. She is the stereotypical post-Victorian single working woman. The emotion she shows is sparse and seems rather stilted. Her relationships are infuriating; the woman is the supervisor in her department and considers herself a "modern woman" but she won't communicate with the men she "loves". Edwin's departure came from left field and was handled terribly. It totally detracted from the story for me and almost made me stop reading. Her "relationship" with Bernard didn't make much sense until the very end of the book. The high point of the book was when the women have to prove their right to work in the studio. I thought it was a great commentary on the times. There is so much discussion about the gay characters in this book that it became a subplot, but didn't seem to add anything to the book. I feel like Vreeland was trying to make some type of point here. I had originally picked this as a book club read but then decided to read it first. I don't think there is anything inappropriate for our book club in this book, but I don't think I would recommend it for future book club reads, simply because I didn't totally enjoy the storyline. It might make for good discussions, though.

I won this book from Librarything, and very much enjoyed it. I have never read any of Harry Kraus' books before, but look forward to reading them in the future. I loved that the ending was unexpected and surprising. The book had a nice cast of characters and a beautiful setting. I loved that is not a preachy Christian fiction book, but a regular people struggling with their faith throughout the circumstances.

Fitgerald is so articulate! I really felt like I was a first-hand witness to the many well-illustrated events in the novel. I could truly picture every scene and character with exactness. By reading this book, it is easy to see how similar people are today, despite the change in time period. You see how ridiculous and detestable the shallow folks are; they value all of the wrong things, and consequently ruin their own lives. This book offers a good perspective on the kinds of things that happen when people govern themselves by entertainment and pleasure rather than morality and order. I highly recommend this book.
