Am I glad I read it? Yeah.
Will I read it again? Probably.
Reflections? As I said, it's challenging. I want to be missional so badly, but don't feel that I am, at least to the extent I should be. Being from Driscoll, this book is entertaining, in-your-face, and thought-provoking. I'm not so sure about some of the things he has to say about evangelism, but I'm no expert. Maybe it's just that my mind is so shaped by "the way things have always been done". I do have some things to think and study through. I'll blog those thoughts as they develop.
Recommended? A lot of people don't care for Mark Driscoll, and if he rubs you the wrong way with his preaching, you probably won't enjoy the book. However, if read with an open mind, I think he'll at least give you something to think about, and to examine in your own context.
Hey man, I would like to connect with you. I live in Clinton, just up Hwy 16 from watson/denham. I too am reformed, and am presently going through Driscoll's Vintage Church book. Firstly, I am a believer and professor in Christ Jesus, and do my best to flesh out my faith according to the grace the Father gives me! I am secondly a husband to a wonderful woman and a father of three great children! Thirdly I am a musician, been and done the touring thing in CCM, and and presently leading worship at Lifegiving Family Church in Denham. I would like to touch base with you!
