Summary: This book is old news, nothing new or useful was learned.
Comment: For all his talk of making the 8 track church into a CD one he gave no insights or ideas. Everything he said was unclear and general and I came away with nothing of value.

Rating: 5
Summary: Dr. Nash helped me understand, and now move forward.
Comment: I am an engineer and go to Church somewhat regularly. After reading this book, I now have a better idea of why I have been discouraged with my religious experiences at Church. Dr. Nash explains the problems that face today's church and its congregation. The points that Dr. Nash discusses, establish a starting point to experience Christianity within our world of mass information and search for a meaningful life. Dr. Nash describes what the new Church will be, and explains there are many roads to get there. It will not be easy, but rather extremely difficult. Mainly because congregations go from "group-followers" to individuals with individual responsibility and in that, lead the Church into a new open world with the ministers and pastors being coaches and supporters. As time passes, we will see who is up for the responsibility to be a Christian and who remains locked behind walls in the old world. Welcome to the new world we live in, thanks Dr. Nash.

Summary: Doctor Nash gives a good start..should have gone further
Comment: The title is most catchy....the content is only "somewhat catchy" at best. Nash's experience in theological circles (including three pastorates)well qualifies him to address a subject in which he only scratches the surface. I found myself finishing the book in a couple of hours, and wanting him to say more. His three or four or five or eight points in each chapter were helpful, useful, and thought-provoking. The issues of community wasn't as fully explored as I was anticipating or expected it to be. Maybe the author could team up with Dr. Stephen Green at Pasadena First Church of the Nazarene (California) and further examine exactly what the "modern church" must do to adequately address and minister to folk living in the throes of postmodernity. The almost comical analogies with the new WALMART Super Centers were cute at best, and lent just a tad to his discussion. Surely there are some "CD churches" in North America somewhere. The problem is only somewhat clear; now the author should help us find some biblical, meaningful and usable solutions.
