Unfashionable...

I just received my copy today of Tullian Tchividjian's (pronounced cha-vih-jin) new book unfashionable: making a difference in the world by being different.

I'm only a little familiar with Tullian and I really try not to be a 'bandwagon' kind of guy, but the title and subtitle peaked my curiosity enough to check it out and with the myriad of endorsements (and I'm not even kidding), I thought I would take it up and read.

Even before you arrive to the table of contents, he has a quote from Spurgeon that is probably where the title originated from....

"The great guide of the world is fashion and its god is respectability--two phantoms at which brave men laugh! How many of you look around to society to know what to do? You watch the general current and then float upon it! You study the popular breeze and shift your sails to suit it. True men do not so! You ask, "Is it fashionable? If it is fashionable, it must be done." Fashion is the law of multitudes, but it is nothing more than the common consent of fools."

- Charles Spurgeon

I'll let you know how it goes from here...
