Summary: Careful and Cautious Look At Survey Data
Comment: This is a well-done, balanced look at survey results of America's spirituality.
Beginning with what is spirituality, this work consistently brings forth the "up and down" side to each point. The opportunities along with the obstacles are well documented and discussed using many angles and viewpoints.
There are many nuggets to be mined and prayed over with Biblical discernment. A random sample: "Americans face constant temptations to pass over the wisdom of the ancients in favor of the guru of the month." "The interest in spirituality in itself, ... is not an unalloyed cuase for rejoicing. But it provides a starting place for conversation." "God may be bringing a faitful remant into deeper levels of discipleship that will enable them to endure in a culture that for all its spirituality seems to become post- or even anti-Christian." "More is needed than urgent words; postmoderns insist on authenticity; faith sharing must grow out of a larger life and witness. Its claims to truth must be buttressed with a changed life, with an experienced and personally felt faith."
I found this read to be an important one is the continuing look at trends and movements. Gives one much to ponder and pray and discuss.

Summary: Very thought-provoking! Much more than statistics.
Comment: An insightful look into the future of spiritually (not just religion) in America. Facts and figures come alive with meaningful interviews and quotes.
The layout of the book with shaded quotes for key ideas make for easy reference.
I'm an associate pastor in a large, growing church in the Kansas City area. Many of the people coming to our church fit the descriptions in this book...i.e. they are looking for experiences with living, powerful God.
I believe Gallup and Jones have written a book that may impact churches in the same way that Tom Peter's book on excellence impacted the business community years ago.
