This book is quite ironic. Most people in my opinion, including the leaders of the church, will not pick this book up and read it through. Yet, its contents thoroughly speak to the foundations of our current evangelicalism. Admittedly, I gleaned the premise of the book in the first 55 pages, then I skimmed the rest. However, I deeply value what it has to say, and it will be a book I go back to for deeper study. I'm sure there is plenty to disagree with here, but the books value isn't with what you agree with. It is with the roots of our movement and how we think that it wrestles with and thereby gives great value.

I am nuts about books. I read on all kinds of topics. I attempt to review each book I read for the sake of my own enrichment as well as conversation starters with others.
