Rick Shrader‘s Review:

Sweet has become a popular author and speaker on reaching the postmodern culture for Christ. For me, Sweet is too accommodating to the culture and this approach is a good example of “you win them to, what you win them with.” To Sweet, “the church is stuck in the modern freezer” and “they stand the real risk of becoming museum churches, nostalgic testimonies to a culture that is no more.” Little effort is made by Sweet to rescue or preserve the older church culture.
