Books finished this week:
Inside the Mind of Unchurched Harry and Maryby Lee Strobel
I generally have liked Lee Strobel’s books in the past; but I find myself with somewhat mixed feelings on this one. His analysis of why so many people who are not in a relationship with Jesus stay away from churches is quite good; but his solutions, seeker-friendly churches like his home (mega) church Willow Creek Community Church, seem too focused on one narrow approach. Or perhaps I am just no longer certain that getting people to go to institutional churches at all a worthy goal in unto itself. Stobel seems to take the position that the key to getting people “saved” is to get them into church, while I believe in a more missional approach where the church goes out and meets people where they are.
