From the Foreword:

"Russell Chandler believes it is time for the church to take back the imaginal and take seriously the creative. In the face of a drift and atrophy of spiritual imagination of crisis proportions, Chandler presents us with a book that practices what it preaches."

Leonard I. Sweet

Drew University School of Theology

"There are lots of great ideas in Russell Chandler's new book and they are presented in an entirely fresh and innovative format. If you are planting a new church or re-inventing an existing ministry, this is a perfect way to get the key issues out on the table for discussion with your leadership team."

"This is the best critique of the seeker-sensitive churches I have read. If your congregation is interested in learning how to welcome strangers, ask your leaders to read this book."
