This review is from: Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church (Paperback)
The book is fairly good, but I kept waiting for the aha moment at some point that would set it apart as something more than stating what should be fairly obvious to any pastor not fresh out of seminary. I suppose if you think that the church is about only numerical growth at the expense of theological truth and authentic loving relationships, then you might find something that is not obvious. I kept reading and saying, OK, yea, but am I missing something? Large churches are not bad, but small churches are OK too seems to be the main theme. The chapter titles are good, but I think are obvious, and unfortunately the chapters do not do much more than restate them without providing the deeper edge needed to make it more than a good intro for those who have lost their way.
