Reviews

[Cary Sawatsky · Rating 4 out of 5]

I would recommend this book to anyone who is committed to being a follower of Jesus. It won't make much sense to anyone else. However, to those of us who are, this book is right on the money. It helped me differentiate between the conservatives (separatists) and liberals (conformists) that we see everywhere in our churches and shows us the path toward being neither, but instead being like Jesus (transformists.)

Absolutely loved this book. Deals with different responses to the world by the church - Separatists, Conformists, and Transformists. Really good stuff.
