Summary: Will use it as a required text in a course I'll be teaching
Comment: Guder does an outstanding job of editing this text.
The writers present a quality summary of today's American spiritual culture as well as justification for returning the church back to its apostolic (i.e. sent) roots. The mission of God is so well presented in this book that I'm going to use it as a required text in the evangelism/mission course that I'm teaching this fall at a Christian/Lutheran university.

Summary: Not Quite What I Expected
Comment: As a member of the post-modern generation, I found this book to be more well suited to those who do not understand post-modern thinking and are looking for mission strategies for today's North American Culture. I also found that the Chapter on the Holy Spirit, although very informative, did not integrate the connection between the Spirit and Missional outreach very well. I think that chapter in itself could make a very interesting book on its own. Finally, I found that the reading level of the book varied between the authors. This could pose a problem for people who may grasp the concepts behind some of the authors writings, but not fully grasp the concepts behind the other authors writings. However, this book is to be commended for showing distinction between Canadian and American culture. Also, the multiple authorship has an advantage in that the book is not as biased(to any denomination) as it might be if only one author were writing it. This book is a good read for those who do not understand today's culture and how to effectively evangelize to it. However, growing up as a post-modern thinker, I did not find it as helpful as I though it would be.
Rating: 5
Summary: Extremely Practical
Comment: This book should be a must read by anyone who wants to have God's desire for the Christian church. It offers a very good understanding of the North American culture and offers a relevant understanding of our culture. The only thing that I wish they would have done, is offer some possible ways to do this and ways that its being done. However, that is not their desire of this book from what I understand. They just simply want to highlight the areas that the modern church is struggling with and what the modern church is called to be and the book does that in superb way. One of the top 5 books that I have ever read.
