Woodward and White provide and enlightening and challenging commentary on the state of the church, as well as a vision for its future. If the words "establishment" or "institution" are unappealing to you, and you favor words like "grassroots" and "community," this book will certainly appeal to you. It offers a vision of how the church is done, and a brighter vision of how church can be done.

Two authors who are practicing what they preach. This book was full, full of practical examples. I learned new ideas about how to be a better neighbor and a more active church member. This would make a great book for small group discussion.
