The Thinking Christian a landmark publication by Gene Marshall On April 15, 2020 Wipf and Stock Publishers released The Thinking Christian, a book by Gene Marshall—three years in the making, a pull together of key edges worked on by the staff and constituencies of Realistic Living for the last 36 years. This volume began to take form when in December 2017 Gene started work on eight one-hour talks that were to be given at the Realistic Living Training School in June 2018. At the conclusion of that School and after the upload of the videos of those talks to the Realistic Living web site, work was begun on this more expanded book. So Why Would You Want this Book? This book is a broad pull together of the core concerns that Realistic Living constituencies and staff have read, published, and studied together for over three decades. This book is not an anthology of old work; it is a fresh statement on these edge topics.
