I found this book a difficult read, not because it was hard to understand, but difficult, because it spoke so much of how I and many others struggle with how we "do" church. It seems we make so little difference in our community, neighborhoods, etc. And yet while this book acknowledges some pretty serious concerns about the North American church, it doesn't do a slam dunk, but rather gently, but firmly, makes us aware that indeed all is not well. For those who are willing to consider the tough road of "doing" church the way it was modeled for us in the early church, this can give some solid encouragement and hope in the midst of the situation we face as church in the West.

great book outlining principles and practices of a missional community, with real life illustrations from a community that is experimenting and sharing their findings. Written for American disaffected evangelicals who are looking for a new ways of being salt & light. So a lot of contextual application stuff has to be re-thought for Canadian neighbourhoods, but very helpful for gleaners like me.
