Confessions of a Reformission Rev. - Mark Driscoll - Book Review 1
I was able to take part in a blog-sphere book review of Mark Driscoll's newest book, Confessions of a Reformission Rev.: Hard Lessons from an Emerging Missional Church.
I have known the name Driscoll and Mars Hill Church in Seattle for a few years now as my friend and I had discussions over coffee or what not. I have recently gotten to Driscoll's blog, and that is how I was able to receive a free book.
So far I have not been too impressed with Driscoll from his blog. I have watched him attack McLaren with some hilarious words, but sounded like a 12 year-old nincompoop. He seems to become the “tonto” of the mega-church folks and is eating right into their back pockets.
Nonetheless, I give the guy credit for what he's doing. He is a voice and a person of influence in a typically religionless city – Seattle. I may disagree with many of the things I've read from him thus far, and dislike his chauvinistic and cocky, nearly mocking, words, I would be misguided if I said that the Spirit was not working in Mars Hill Church or Driscoll.
I was to receive this book over a month ago, which would have given me ample time to review the book chapter by chapter and still complete my homework. I just received it and I'm in crunch time with school, so I will attempt to do a chapter or two every few days, but for the next three weeks, this will be difficult. Bear with me.
