Dan Kimball has bravely challenged the apathy of those Christians who have never tried to answer some of the difficult questions that arise when we live in the real world. Dan doesn't try to provide all the answers but directs the reader to do their own study of the Bible and to see why people love Jesus but stay away from church.
Thankfully so many churches are moving on from this position but it is a good reminder of how trapped people can become when they don't check on the answers for themselves - whether they are in the church or not!
Extremely valuable for those concerned with being missionaries in their home town, wherever that may be!

Kimball's book has appeal to both those within traditional and emerging church generations. For traditionals, he suggests that those trapped within "the Christian bubble" (having none other than only Christian friends) need to escape those constraints and begin building relationships with non-Christians--and do more listening than talking.
When he did that, himself a pastor of a church, he found the answers to his questions about Jesus and the church shocking. Non-Christians are quite willing to talk about Jesus and spirituality, but are largely turned off by the organized church.
For emerging generations, the book may bring about the realization that Chrisians today have an uphill climb in terms of sharing their faith with non-Christians, thanks to the (often negative) influences of traditional, organized churches. The real question becomes: How can Christians today share their faith in Jesus while at the same time honestly acknowledging the negative impact of organized religion, which is seen as part and parcel of the message about Jesus?
Offering more examples than necessarily answers, Kimball's book is a challenging read that is well worth the exploration.

An informative and interesting aproach that enabled me to put into perspective why church wasn't for me.
It helped me to understand that it wasn't even organised religion I had a problem with, but it was more to do with the fact that my own personal experiences with churches that I had attended weren't that great.
I would recommend it as a very good read,to anyone thinking about stepping away from religion, or even someone thinking about looking for a church and denomination.
