This like the other Frank Viola's books I have read are rooted in his desire that his readers would prize Jesus above all else, and that they would submit every aspect of their life to his Lordship.
There are common threads in many of his writings. This book packages it a little differently: an extended series of short, hard-hitting ideas or concepts, each backed up with lots of scripture, and collected into 5 major themes throughout the book.
The style makes it easy to read in short segments. At times it seems a little condensed, but he then expresses a similar thought in another chapter.
If you are looking for a traditional "how-to" book on Christian living, you won't find it here. But if you want a fresh, and also ancient, perspective on Christ’s advancing Kingdom vs the current world systems in which we are all part of and comfortable living in - this is a good option.
One criticism, it might be a little long and a tiny bit repetitive.
I received a copy of this book from Resourcing Leaders
