This is the basic primer for Driscoll thinking - and what it means to be missional.
It is well written and challenging. There are plenty of things to quibble about - but its a great encouragement to allow/force ourselves to think outside of the boxes we so typically sequester ourselves in. It confronts our prejudices and preconceived notions about people (especially unbelievers) in light of Christ's example and imperatives to us about discipling the nations. It takes seriously the importance of sociological importance of cities and the need to transform cities for the Lord Jesus.
Driscoll is a great communicator and has been well used of God to proclaim a vision of Christian mission in a post-modern world.

Doug, I'm glad to see your positive review of this. I haven't read anything from Driscol, but I have benefited from his no-nonsense preaching style. I think I'll put this book on the to-read list. Thanks, brother!
