Jesus trend

I'm almost finished reading a book I started a few days ago. That hasn't happened in a long time - a quick read, I mean. I assumed it was because of my schedule, but now I have figured that I just haven't had something that captures my interest in a long time. I am kind of irritated with myself for enjoying this book, however. It's a book by Donald Miller titled Blue Like Jazz. It is the trendy, Christian post-modern thing to be reading, I guess, but I don't like thinking of myself as a trendy Christian. I want to be an authentic, passionate disciple of Christ, which through the centuries hasn't won a lot of popularity points in the "modern world". Yet, I know the world thirsts for authenticity, reality, and brokenness...because if everyone is honest the reality of our life is that of brokenness. We are all broken, and it is comforting to identify with the brokenness of others. I want to strive however, not just to be real about being broken for the comfort of others, but for the abandonment of my heart. The grace that is showered on the humble in heart is a beautiful display to anyone, spiritual or not. But this is where I have to watch my step to not boast in anything, save the Lord Jesus Christ. It would be trendy and attractive to talk about grace upon grace upon grace (which is an awesome thing), but to leave out the Giver of that grace would be to turn a blessing into an idol and not worship the Author of the blessing. Grace, love, charity, community are all trendy to talk about with non-believers, but Jesus is the radical that rocks a person's boat, and the conversation topic we usually avoid. He doesn't need us to talk Him up in order to make a "sale", His very life, actions and words are as realistic and authentic as they come. And if reality and authenticity is the trend, then why are we not proclaiming His name, Jesus, more?
