If I could, I would hand out copies, or at least highlighted sections, of this book to many people I know. I live in the Bible belt and hear too many people doing exactly what the authors warn against. I'm a Christian who is turned off by the hypocrital, judgmental, scripture-quoting people who claim to be Christians. When these same people live their faith in a different way, Christians will be seen in a much better light. At times, I thought the four primary chapters bogged down, but, as a whole, I thought this was a fairly easy read. I particularly enjoyed reading about the authors' experiences and those featured at the Lifetree Cafe. White I rated the book a 4, I would actually rate it a 3.5.
