Radical Reformission
23 June 2007
There aren't many books that I heartily recommend. There are even fewer that I can say I've read all of. That brings me to Driscoll's book. I reviewed his Confessions here.
This book I think better articulates Driscoll's mission and purpose. His other book while equally good was a more personal and humorous account of his journey from little known duder to big gun. This book however is a must read for pastors and those church leadership. For those who might dismiss Driscoll as another emerging* stooge would be most interested in his criticism of not only post modernity but aspects of emerging church movement in the US.
Driscoll a clearly gifted communicator taking complex ideologies explaining them in every day language with candor and laugh-out-loud humour. I loved this book and I'm convinced you'll love it to.
*If you pride yourself on "cultural engagement", "Gen Y" and being across the "emerging movement" and haven't read this book you have committed heinous sin.

I think I am gen X. I've only read about 4 books.
i agree that this is a great book. have you read his contribution to 'listening to the beliefs of the emerging church'?
if not that might be your next one!
On backorder at Koorong. You recommendation must have caused a nation-wide sellout.
Either way I might try to grab his other books while the special is still on.
Any gearing-up-for-wedding news?
