review 1: Mark Driscoll, pastor of Mars Hill Church in Seattle answered questions from his congregation in an evening service (without children there). The top nine sermons are included in this book. In the introduction he states that “religion never saved anyone, and religious answers to complex questions are simply misconceptions, hence the title. His answers are Biblical and he notes that many of today’s issues are not addressed in the Bible. Questions covered deal with dating and sex, the long standing debate between Arminians and Calvinists, Catholics and Protestants, the emerging church and how Christians should relate to culture and the lost. The chapter on what worship is and isn’t describes differing views about this in a clear and balanced way. This is an excellent ... moreand well researched book written in an easy to read format.
review 2: A random book, but since it was just answering most popular questions that he received, I don't know how it couldn't be random. Some chapters I really liked. Others, I didn't (especially the humor chapter... it seemed like he was really trying to be funny, but not really succeeding). This book is valuable though because some people honestly have questions about these things and Mark makes some really good points that I wouldn't be able to think of or articulate the way he does. I feel like this book has been helpful to me in being able to answer people's questions, and learning things myself a long the way! less
