Not too far into it, but it really fells like The Benedict Option before there was the Benedict Option. A great exhortation to be a people set apart. My favorite passage from it so far:

"Christianity is more than a matter of a new understanding. Christianity is an invitation to be part of an alien people who make a difference because they see something that cannot otherwise be seen without Christ. Right living is more the challenge than right thinking. The challenge is not the intellectual one but the political one -- the creation of a new people who have aligned themselves with the seismic shift that has occurred in the world since Christ."

Yeah, it's funny that Hauerwas et Al we're writing a message for liberal Christianity that many years ago that sounds eerily like the evangelical conversation today...
