review 1: This took me a long time to finish, but it wasn't because the book wasn't good. Just a lot going on.Hatmaker has crafted a book that's a quasi-memoir of what his church has done to become more like Jesus. It's filled with practical advice on how to love people (and communities) more like Jesus, displaying our love through service. As a co-founder of a new church plant in Kentucky, I've taken many ideas from the book and let them soak into my brain. This is a must read refreshing look at what the church should look like in post-post-modern America. It's also a great book for those who feel like life (and church) should be more than it is. The only way to fill the void is to seek Jesus and live like He did, embracing love for all.
review 2: I wanted this bo... moreok to be much radical than it was. Hatmaker had a couple of fresh ideas: spending part of Sunday "church time" in active hands on interaction with needs in our communities, specific targeting of single moms as a needy demographic, etc. but new thoughts were sparse and lots of what he had to say was uninspired re-hash: Christians should be loving, the root of the problem is insufficient Bible reading and prayer, the poor matter, church is not a cozy social club and so on... less
