Rick Shrader‘s Review:

Drawing from his own experience of having such a service on Saturday night, Dobson says boldly, ‘‘We have to take all possible means, in all possible ways, to reach some people.’’ “I learned that new believers and unchurched people see things much differently from the old-timers, and we had better be sensitive to their concerns.” Dobson makes no bones about using sacred and secular rock music, non-preachy messages, informal dress, services and topics such as sexuality, drug addiction and life styles. He also contrasts the difference between the Saturday night service and the Sunday morning service at Calvary church.
