Christians in their mid-teens to mid-twenties
Read in August, 2011
In Religion Saves, Driscoll answers the top 9 questions that were asked in a survey for a preaching series at Mars Hill. The result is an eclectic mix of topics ranging from sex and dating, to the doctrine of grace, to birth control, to the emerging church. Driscoll's responses are pretty much what you'd predict as a Reformed conservative, but he is well read and most of the discussion has depth. I don't agree with all his conclusions, but agree with more than not.
Mars Hill is a young church (both the age of the church, and the average age of attendees), and this would be a great book for Christians in their late teens to mid to late twenties. In fact, I'd almost call it 'compulsory' reading. Most of the topics are relevant and important. However, the discussion is very frank in places, and I wouldn't recommend it for younger teens who may have been a bit sheltered.
I listened to the audio-book which is narrated by Driscoll. The content really lends itself to this format and having the author narrate means he can put the emphasis where he intends.
4 stars = I really like it.
