I like most of his conclusions about things that people living in the suburbs should think about in how they structure their lives. I don't agree, though, that the suburbs are quite as good of a thing as he tends to indicate.
This book had a lot of good information not only about being a Christian while living in the suburbs, but also how American suburban culture has evolved. I feel much better about my desire to live in the suburbs rather than the city. God has a place for me here.
Kept my sanity during am nursing with Baby B! A fascinating sociological look at how suburbia came to be and its subtle influence on our lives. Could not put it down (except when needed to change his diapers :-).

I can't actuall say I read this. I stopped only several chapters in as it is the age old discussion on classism w/a Christian twist so it really didn't brin anything new to the table for me.
really practical, and i was amazed at how hsu has thought through some of the more difficult questions of our consumer, commuter age.
