    <body><![CDATA[Franchising McChurch: Feeding Our Obsession With Easy Christianity is a very thought provoking book.  It illustrates how the McDonaldization of many churches has come to be, and how easy it is to be sucked in it. <br/><br/>This book is like eating a Home cooked meal that your Grandma made just after you had McDonald’s for lunch.  It is mainly written to Pastors and Church leaders but the individual person can learn a lot from it too.  One of the best features of this book is the “Drive Thru” sections at the end of the chapters – which summarize the chapters main points and also has “Health Inspector” Questions that allow to step back and look at the “Health” of your church or even your own spiritual health.<br/><br/>Franchising McChurch is different from many other books of this genre because it looks at from three different viewpoints, from the front lines, from training new and future leaders, and from being students themselves.  It also looks from the biblical, theological, and practical standpoints.<br/><br/> If you want to see how the “McDonald’s style” is or can affect the church and the world in general I recommend this book.]]></body>
