"This is a book recommended by the United Methodist Women's Reading Program. We used it in a Sunday School group and were surprised at how many times we agreed with the author. I wasn't expecting much of it, because I had just read "Enough" by the same author and learned nothing new. While I didn't completely agree with everything, the author was open-minded about each topic which encouraged the reader to be also. Some of the controversies were agreed upon by the group as really being "non-issues", although they certainly push other people's buttons. This is definitely a book to read and pass along."
"Our class on this book ended Tuesday, Jan. 20th. It would be a good book to read by yourself, but it lends itself even better to a class setting. We had social conservatives, moderates, and liberals in our class and it was fun to hear everyone's viewpoints. We also had a pharmacist and a nurse in the class (which was quite small in number) and they were very informative on the issues like euthanasia and abortion. And of course, the pastor himself had good input.
The author, who is a United Methodist minister, does a great job of presenting BOTH sides of many controversial social issues. (prayer in the schools, separation of church and state, capital punishment) He tries to see them in today's context and then examines what the Bible/United Methodist Church has to say on each. He usually takes a very middle of the road approach which I really liked. Turns out, as far as the church is concerned, homosexuality is probably the hardest issue to tackle. There are so many layers to this one.
I'd recommend this book - although it's fairly easy to read, it really delves into some tough questions."
"Writing the book was taking a step out in faith, but the author failed to become my hero because he was too ambivalent. If you're gonna take a risk, make it really risky!"
