Summary: A look at the Christian Church
Comment: This is a book that should be read by every Christian; especially those whose main contacts are within their churches. Written by the head of the Barna Group and based on the group's surveys about the church, this book reveals what those outside of the church think of Christians. It's not a flattering picture. The book goes on to explore the various areas and reflects on what Christians might be doing wrong or other ways to communicate the truths of the Bible that might be more easily understood by those they are trying to reach. It is a book which will cause you to think and pray and has the potential to change your life.

Summary: Frank, honest, and sobering
Comment: This book shares a scienitific based review of how the unchurched view mainstream Christianity. Though frank and sobering, the results will not be surprising to most Christians. Rather than reflect God's love, Christians all too often reflect judgementalism. I took the book to heart and will try to be mindful of the way that I image God and the church to the world. It is a "must read" for every Christian who deals with everyday people, especially for Christians who live in larger metropolitan cities or college towns.

Summary: Great Book But Not the Whole Story
Comment: This is a great book, but it's not complete.
The book does a wonderful job of showing why Christians look unattractive in the eyes of those who are not part of the faith. To complete the picture, I would recommend George Barna's excellent books "Revolution" and "Pagan Christianity"?
These two books explain why most churches are unattractive to both Christians and non Christians alike, and ("Pagan Christianity" especially) gives a great deal of historical evidence for why this is the case.

Summary: Didn't Read It
Comment: I agree that the church has to change but can someone please tell me why we (the church) should go to the "world" and ask the "world" what the church of Jesus Christ should look like?
