review 1: This book had gotten some rave reviews from pastors who I know and trust, so I was excited to dig into it. It did not disappoint! Having read other books by Stanley and having heard him speak multiple times, I was a bit concerned that it would feel like rehash of these previous teachings. However, it had a flavor all its own and it was a flavor that kept me jotting down a number of quotables, processing a lot of his concepts and challenges to the norm, and has me planning on using it as a sort of resource book for future situations.
review 2: Good read. This is the kind of book that forces you to understand why you do or don't do what you do in ministry or your personal walk with Christ. It forces you to take a side, make a decision, and evaluate what you are... more or are not doing to take the gospel to the lost or the "un-churched" as Stanley calls them. I definitely did not agree with everything presented, but I absolutely felt challenged and provoked to thought. I recommend this to church leaders in particular, serving in whatever capacity and also to those that have been "churched". It is easy to become complacent and comfortable and consider traditions, history and cultural ideas from a time since passed as the principle thing. If we're not careful, while those things are not necessarily bad, they present the danger of being esteemed as more important than seeking the lost. less
