“This is an attempt to shed light on how the failure of christians to represent Christ leaves culture to condemn the church as hypocritical and irrelevant. Without demonstrating love in tangible ways, it's difficult for the church to communicate the gospel. The person and teachings of Jesus, though confusing, confrontational, and radical still hold fascination for those outside the organized church.”

“Now this book was a challenge and it was a great punch in the face to all sunday morning church-goers. Buy this one and make yourself mad.”

As a pastor, I am saddened by this response and frustrated by the church's general resistance to listen. On the flip side, I struggle with accommodating those who have little or no experience of the church but are quick to judge it from a distance. This is a thought-provoking read.”

Dan has done his homework while interviewing many people to gather this maddening information!”
