    <body><![CDATA[Enjoyable.  The title sounded like this would be a liberal controversial book.  Instead, I found it to only be a controversial book.  His primary goal is to open the eyes of the church regarding how the western world views Christianity.  He correctly points out that we live in a &quot;post-christian&quot; world today.<br/><br/>Dan Kimball definitely values the church and gathering of believers.  He likes to use emergent terms like &quot;missional&quot;, &quot;emerging generations&quot;, &quot;kingdom living&quot;,and last but not least &quot;beer&quot;.  However, he believes that homosexuality is a sin, that God has an ordained structure for how men and women should fit into the church, that the Bible is God inspired and should be studied literally, that Faith alone in Christ alone is the only way of salvation, and other conservative views.<br/><br/>I was very encouraged by the gracious and respectful manner in which he handled these topics.  He provides several good balanced thoughts regarding how to better approach the world around us.  I certainly don't agree with all of his conclusions but he did a great job of helping me to think through this.<br/><br/>I do recommend this book.]]></body>
