    <body><![CDATA[Quite honestly, I wish I had this book ten years ago so, as I was processing through it's content the hard way, I could have had a guide to walk with me. I've stood on the extremes of the traditional and flirted with the extremes of the emerging and, in the end, discovered that I don't truly belong in either camp ... rather, I'm a &quot;third way&quot; kind of guy. As a result, this book will be a great resource as I head into whatever ministry endeavor is next for me, simply because it will enable me to bring the leaders around me through the journey I've been on in 240 pages rather than 10 years of wandering and wrestling.<br/><br/>One of my favorite elements of this book include that Belcher took time to sit down with both sides and listen. He read their work, heard their voices, made sure he was understanding them, and then took time to respond accordingly. At this level, it doesn't matter what side your on, the book will offer you a clear outline of what the other side believes (which is far more gracious and honoring of the 8th commandment [Lutheran counting:] than most resources out there).<br/><br/>]]></body>
