Summary: A fresh approach to the historical faith
Comment: I'm intrigued by this one, because this book departs from Sweet's usual more academic approach to writing (it's not uncommon to see over 200 footnotes, including references to literature, magazines, websites, and recordings in one typical chapter).
It seems to me that Sweet is offering us the practical implications of living out the vision and reality he has painted in "Soul Tsunami" and "Aqua Church." This book reads much faster than either of those, and is certainly more personal than theoretical or corporate.
More readable than "A Cup of Coffee at the Soul Cafe," "Soul Salsa" marks out several "dance steps" you can do to make your life sing right now. All are biblical-- none are legalistic. All are process type things (you work at them, over time, towards a life-style transformation as opposed to just doing "one thing" and checking it off the box) instead of one-shot deals.
Would recommend for believers looking for a fresh approach to historical Christianity, if wanting to get into a small group study but not use one of the pre-packaged fill-in-the-blank books.

Summary: New Life-Theology
Comment: I am a recent convert to the school of Soul-Salsa. Finally I found an author, Leonard Sweet, who is clearly right on in his approach to living a Godly life. Where else can you find out better how God wants us to live, and really enjoy life without the guilt that is laid on us by many modern churches. Sweet delivers an excellent book on how followers of Christ should live in this new postmodern era. He is a postmodern author who speaks in a language that is easy to follow, at least for me. I think anyone who picks this book up will have a new perspective on life that will leave you wanting more.
Leonard Sweet puts Christianity on the cutting edge by taking us back an ancient faith movement. I had a professor in college who was agnostic, and he made the point to me that the best examples of human beings he had ever encountered in his studies were first century Christians. Leonard Sweet prods us to move back to the past, and live as the first followers of Christ lived.
In essence, we need to move back to the past. I could not agree more with Sweet on this point. But his book is much more than Theology, it is a fun look at how to live life in a Godly way and really enjoy yourself while you are doing it.
This book is great for anyone who wants to get a peek into what, I believe, God has in store for us in this life, and the life to come in heaven. Sweet tells us to "Dance the Salsa," I second that emotion.

Summary: A delight...
Comment: I try borrowing books whenever I can -- saves on the budget -- but Sweet's stuff and this one in particular is a keeper to read again and again. Brings the joy back to faith!
