Blunt. Straight Talk. Probably will be rejected by most house churchers who like their stuff mostly shallow, thickly candy-coated and polite ad nauseum (House Churchers have their own, weird brand of "political correctness"). These authors lack that modern-day pastoral tact and "Christian" veneer and write in a more gritty, thundering, prophetic style, like the men of old. And, yes, while their claim to be leading the radical wing of house churching is brash, it is also clear that they are passionate men--I found that more refreshing than offensive. And their critics must ask themselves if they are truly pioneering more radically than these men are.These men write in a raw, unpolished form, but man are their words and thoughts badly needed to be heard by house churchers the world over. Most people I've met are too focused on the messengers of this book, their style, tone, their affiliation, and not enough on the real issue---the sad and sorry state of what is passing for "house church" around the world. House Churchers need to be less sensitive to the coarseness these men write with and more sensitive their timely message.
For People Who Want a Brand New Way to Do Church

This book is one of the best critiques of the problems of modern day Christianity in print. It is a great read for any Christian who is tired of doing church the same old way and who is looking for a new alternative. I highly recommend it!
