This is a really helpful exploration of a church wanting to be true to Christ and culture - a third culture: ' I believe today that God is calling us in the church to be a different kind of movement, known for our kisses of compassion rather than our condemnations' (Dave Gibbons).

I have respect for many mega-churches in what they are doing with large numbers of people, but this book comes from a church taking a different tack, being smaller and so making it possible for everyone to be engaged - and this around a number of key questions. For Gibbons' church these are: Where is Nazerath?; What is my pain?; and, What is in my hand?
