Jim and Casper Go To Church

Just wanted to recommend Jim and Casper Go To Church by Jim Henderson and Matt Casper to my readers. Jim is a Christian and Matt an atheist who visit a number of churches to get Matt's reaction to the presentation the church makes.

Churches invite people to visit their services to check them out, so what kind of message do churches make? Some common themes, some specific to types of churches emerge from the visits. What I find most interesting is Matt's observations that the format is the basically the same no matter what purpose comes through (except for the house church he attended) -- one of many observations that prompted Matt to ask "did Jesus really tell you to do it this way?". Another interesting one is the observation of the vagueness of it all -- sermons that left Matt asking "what's the call to action?".

I don't want to spoil anymore ... if anyone who has read it wants to discuss it, feel free to contact me ...
