Subversive Kingdom: A Rebel's Guide to Gospel Insurgency
by
Ed Stetzer
This world is a dark, evil, and broken place - more corrosive and corrupting than we even realize since we sit here in the middle of it, with nothing else to compare it to. But for those who know that Christ is coming to establish a new and perfect order, ours is not just a world to endure but a world to invade.

So far...very good book.
Pretty standard stuff for a book of this type. It had a few good quotes in it--but unfortunately I had the audiobook version so I couldn't highlight them. Also had some really great stuff on some of Jesus's parables.
