I was challenged in a couple of ways. I was really challenged to look at Communion in a new way. MH has communion each week, and I can only find one partially legitimate objection. I wouldn't however go as far as Johnny Cash did and do it everyday but I'd now at least feel OK having communion at home with my family. As well, the idea of getting saved and baptized in the same service moved me. This made me ask myself as an elder "Why have we gotten so process oriented with baptism?" The idea of having non believers involved in church aspects was really illuminated by Marks treatment of the visible and invisible church doctrine. I for one was sold. The last chapter is a punch to the solar plex as well. This chapter shows Marks ability to covers topic that your normal mega church pastor doesn't, this part of his ministry keeps me coming back for more. I too feel like he needs to be more fresh at times. Like I said, I loved this book. It is much more fresh than some of his other material and if you've read "Radical Reformission" you will definitely see Mark's growth. Thanks for your thoughts Mike. I loved this book!

I think you've hit on an important point about Driscoll's humour - it's not actually funny in print. If anything, it can be a distracting. Did you read my review a while back? http://wp.me/pscCj-9z Great review, Michael. I think you’ve hit on an important point about Driscoll’s humour – it’s not actually funny in print.
