I don't consider serving the homeless or going into places where people don't know Christ as the gutter, BUT I do love the heart and passion and authenticity of both this author and the book. We are called to live outside the church pew. We do find real relationships and real outreach when we hang with people who are perhaps asking tough questions about faith and life in general. There were times as I read this book that I paused, wanting to make sure that those who have diverse ministries in the body of Christ aren't discounted because they aren't in the "gutter", but I also underlined and highlighted passages that were right on target.

As an author, speaker, and minister to teens and families, but mostly as a fellow believer, I applaud the courage it took to write this book. It's a great resource and one that every believer and every leader in the body of Christ should read.

The book got to me in a timely manner. I have't read it yet, however I am so excited to!
