Reviews

[Jeremy · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great creative book about ways to keep life fresh, and incorporate faith into every aspect of life rather than compartmentalizing as we do so well...

[Christy Bower · Rating 5 out of 5]

Soul Salsa offers a variety of ways we can demonstrate our moves to the world by living radically different lives. The topics are as varied as eating right, offering compliments rather than criticisms, or trading our convictions for confessions. Leonard Sweet offers his positive vision for the future based on his remarkably accurate read on the millennial generation. I love to read Sweet’s work simply to gain insight on culture and how to shape the Christian life and message to reach the current culture best.

Soul Salsa is worth a read, especially if you want a fresh take on living well in today’s culture.
