I am always hesitant to recommend Driscoll's books because I
do not agree with everything he believes. That being said, it was interesting to read his perspective on
Christendom since he lives in Seattle and has never had the Midwestern feel
that Christianity is alive and well. He talks to the different tribes of Christianity and realizes there are differences.
"[M]any of those presumed to be Christians do not possess true faith. Rather, in the world of post-Christendom, true Christian belief has been replaced with a borrowed faith, a lost faith, or no faith at all" (kindle location 229). I found this section to be very interesting since I have worked for churches and experienced people with all three "false faiths".
One third of the book is appendixes. I'm not sure why appendix A was not a part of the book since it dealt with church history and would have been better than having two post script-type add-ons to a book. Appendix B was suggested reading based on the different tribes mentioned in the book.
I thought it was an ok book. Not outstanding but interesting to read.

I received a free copy of this book from Tyndale in exchange for this book review.
