A really good book that covers many different topics concerning people and Christians today. Because there are many different issues that they talk about, however, they are not really able to expound on them too much. This does a great job in starting to create a dialogue on these issues rather than simply making them black and white. We would do well to take this approach and open our eyes a little more to understand others. ( )

A good book for younger Christians (college freshman, high school seniors) or those who have finally had enough of the cheap church culture in the U.S. It won't do much for you if you're already struggling with some of the more challenging issues we face, but it's still an interesting. book. ( )

The premise was good: have two "Christian leaders" write complementary essays about numerous, often debated issues. Where it went wrong: the abandonment of truth. For some odd reason, more and more of Church history and tradition is becoming relative. Has nobody noticed that the relative view is fairly new to the Church itself? Awful! My biggest non-specific issue, their theologies are not pragmatic. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0310253845, Hardcover)

There is a stirring among churchgoers. Many are looking at how the Christian faith is being played out, wondering if somehow we’re missing the point. What if there is more to our faith than just getting our souls into heaven? What if there is a power in the gospel that’s been kept under lock and key because of our culture-controlled church? If we placed our beliefs and their origins under the microscope, what would we see?
