I feel like I got 99% of the good stuff from the book in the interview he did with The Cutting Edge a few years ago.

I had to set aside many of the Willow like aspects but I felt he had some good things to say. The follow-up book was better ( Making Room For Life ). There will still be things that set you off but it deals with hindrances to community, very practical. I've found it relevant to our own situation and we're nothing like the standard sub-urban church. I liked the book, relatively speaking.

It didn't get any better at the end. Now I need to read something good as a rebound. Probably A Generous Orthodoxy if I can fight Alicia for it. Well, I did just finish it.

When something is hyped that much to me, I nearly always end up being disappointed in it. My reaction was exactly the same as yours, feeling for feeling. I didn't even finish it. Daniel,
