Rick Shrader‘s Review:

This is a process, or plan, to assimilate people into the church. This is done by Andy Stanley’s ministry and is used in many churches across the country. I thought it had many good ideas and good methods for following up on interested people. The downsides are a weak view on creation (chapter 3), a view of Law (chapter 6) as simply “rules,” and a fuzzy explanation of personal salvation through grace (chapter 8). Several references to Rob Bell doesn’t help its credibility either. However, to be fair, the book does present a plan to reach out to interested people, something all of us ought to want to do.

It is used in negative connotations such as, “when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries” (1 Peter 4:3); in descriptions of the […]
