This is the book everyone is talking about. I heard people mention it and read about it in interviews several times before I finally ordered a copy. I was not disappointed even though it’s long and sometimes gets a little bit detailed. Nevertheless the overall themes of the book are far sighted and will provide a grid through which we will see the world for many years to come.

This book really was very funny and really mades me laugh because Jeff Lucas has a great way of telling stories. The book is full of individual stories, that are both profound and hilarious. It is definately a laugh-out-loud book about everything from evangelism to worship, that shows ways to and to not approach different situations. The nice change about this book is the humility with which it is written and how there are actually very valid lessons to be learnt through Jeff’s experiences.
