Not a big Brian McLaren fan. This book suffered from a subtle arrogance that said, "The Church would run better if it did things my way." I thought the arguing points were trying to answer questions I didn't have. Not impressed. (show less)

I don't think it teaches heresy, but I found it more frustrating than helpful. (show less)
