"Len Sweet’s prophetic insights in Me/We are a profound invitation to experience in a new way a Trinitarian level of identity both individual and social. In a day of question everything and no absolutes belief-systems, Sweet heralds The Story as a master meta-narrative while daring to pose questions of The Story that we are not asking but may hold the key to a glorious journey towards the Me/We that God dreamed of since Eden."
-Bishop Mark J. Chironna, Church On The Living Edge, Mark Chironna Ministries, Orlando, Florida

“When the Jews returned from exile, they built a temple of worship before reconstructing a wall of protection. What a lesson—worship must precede apologetics. What American Christianity has eloquently constructed is a protective wall around a hollow religious system of institutionalized cliché without ever entering into the dangerous business of worship. What Len Sweet has done here is masterful. Sweet has once again beaten into the soul of Jesus’ church a call—a call, at its core, which subversively creates a worshipping people out of a bunch of exiles.“

"With his usual insight, Len Sweet challenges the theological status quo, calling the once and future church to revisit the meaning of the social gospel, social justice and the kingdom of God. He urges 'kingdom living' not 'kingdom building'" and offers new strategies for recovering the Jesus Way."

– Bill J. Leonard, James and Marilyn Dunn Professor of Baptist Studies, Professor of Church History, Wake Forest University, Winston-Salem, North Carolina

“The church exists to grow communities of holiness, not justice. When the church starts to sound more hanging judge than umpire, and judge-and-juries everything it comes across, it is time to reboot.' Len Sweet takes us on a journey to reboot our understanding of social gospel and social justice. Turning a critical ear to current rally-cries, Len clears the way for us to remember the WE and the ME of the the NEW understanding of 'social gospel.' You will not be disappointed."

- Rev. Dr. Dottie Escobedo-Frank, South District Superintendent, Desert Southwest Conference of The United Methodist Church

"There are realities that float in our minds and hearts in response to earthly phenomena that we find difficult to name. Len Sweet names, in fresh and dynamic ways, the contemporary reality and the appeal of the gospel so that we can heal mind, body, and spirit, reclaim relationships, and restore community. A Me/We gospel is visionary, holistic, and flat-out genius. A must read for those that want to be healers and be healed."

- Frank A. Thomas, Nettie Sweeney and Hugh Th. Miller Professor of Homiletics, Christian Theological Seminary, Indianapolis, IN

There is an African Proverb that says, “I am because we are and we are because I am.” Len Sweet once again helps the body of Christ to return back to true center. The good news of the gospel is to show us how connected we are to one another at the intersection of the cross. The Church is at the crossroads of either becoming entrenched in a “form of godliness with no power” or operating out of a true center of power through a Christ infused existence that gives birth to new life, moving from me to we. Dr. Sweet introduces a shift from consumers to conceivers, from being faithful to being fruitful. It’s a return to the “garden” where we learn to cultivate the land together as humans and in cooperation with the cosmos. In a way that only he can, Dr. Sweet reads the writing on the wall of our post-modern predicaments, man’s inhumanity to man, converses with the ancient wisdoms of scholars past, and reminds us in a fresh way that unless we learn to live together as brothers and sisters in the house and garden of God we will die in deserts separate as fools. The good news of the God’s New Social Gospel is that we never have to walk and never should work alone.

– Stacy Spencer, Sr. Pastor of New Direction Christian Church in Memphis, TN

“In a hurting world full of the ‘us and them’ mentality, there's a great need for a new paradigm. Len Sweet offers just that in this book. He leads us gently into a new understanding of the Gospel, one that combines the concepts of ‘me’ and ‘we’ into a community of reconciliation. This book is a must read for anyone longing to re-write the story our world is living.”
