Praise for Jesus Was a Liberal: Reclaiming Christianity for All:

'McLennan's presentation is remarkably thoughtful, respectful, and balanced as he argues that liberal Christianity is a vital expression of faith.' - Publishers Weekly
'His book is a manifesto of sorts for those who are both unapologetically Christian and liberal.

'Rev. Scotty McLennan is reasonable and humane. . . he makes religion sound like a valuable tool for humanity, the kind of social movement that could bring us peace, understanding, tolerance and love.' - The National Post (Canada)
'An immensely readable book that reclaims the honorable word 'liberal' for a vision of Christianity that is persuasive, compelling, and faithful.' - Marcus J. Borg, author of The Heart of Christianity and Jesus: The Life, Teaching and Relevance of a Religious Revolutionary
'A wonderfully readable and very timely book. It makes Jesus available again, as he has been at many times in history, to a much wider spectrum of people, and not just 'liberals.' Will be appreciated by those who want to 'conserve' what he stood for, taught and died for.' - Harvey Cox, author of When Jesus Came to Harvard and The Future of Faith
'A clear-eyed, hopeful manifesto of belief, written with style and integrity. At last - the progressive case for faith, powerfully made.' - James Carroll, author of Practicing Catholic
Praise for Finding Your Religion: When the Faith You Grew Up with Has Lost Its Meaning:
'This is an entertaining, gentle and affirming book.' - Publishers Weekly
'McLennan offers wise commentary and anecdotes that gently guide the individual seeker toward finding a religious home.' - Cleveland Plain Dealer
'If blind belief has driven you to blind disbelief, or if you feel your life is in spiritual disarray, or if you simply want to read something thoughtful and sensitive, try this book. Scotty McLennan is an experienced guide on a variety of paths leading to what we all need - a greater spiritual awareness.' - Reverend William Sloane Coffin, author of A Passion for the Possible

For the millions of people who identify as liberal Christians. In McLennan's bold call to reclaim ownership of Christianity, he advocates a sense of religion based not on doctrinal readings of scripture but on the humanity behind Christ's teachings. He addresses such topics as intelligent design, abortion, same sex marriage, war. torture and much, much more. As he says in the Preface, "We liberal Christians know in our hearts that there is much more to life than seems to meet the rational eye of atheists; yet we find it hard to support supernatural claims about religion that fly in the face of scientific evidence."
