I do know he is addressing those who don't want anything to do with "organized" religion, He is also possibly addressing what has become known as the emerging church.

As a note of irony, though, it always interesting to see those church plants that start out to "not be like your grandma's church" and yet when they are done really are just the same church with the same problems only having a new set of clothes.

This bothers me and I would have to read the book,...

This bothers me and I would have to read the book, but from the excerpt I don't think I want to give my money to this guy to read this. I don't have enough information to understand his premise well enough to comment intelligently but I can say I disagree with some of the things he is saying. I also think he's doing nothing but listing generalities and some of these areas ARE problems for particular churches and for "the Church." I think his label of the "church-is-lame" crowd is insulting and patronizing. I believe change is good because it keeps you moving in a new and hopefully better direction, as long as that direction is biblical and not self-serving. I also have no problem with those who complain as long as they have valid solutions to the problem. Again, I'm not too impressed by this and would not buy this book based on this snippet - I might read your copy though. LOL
