Adam Hamilton is, in my opinion, a national treasure. He embodies the kind of generous orthodoxy so many of us have been dreaming of and praying for. This book provides something truly unique a kind of orientation to Christianity in its wide array of forms that not only educates but inspires. It 's one of the few books I wish every single Christian would read and share with their friends.
- Brian McLaren, author of A New Kind of Christian

"In this wise and practical book, Adam Hamilton serves as a trusted guide to some of the rich diversity of Christian belief and practice. It is a rare feat to acknowledge differences and distinctiveness appreciatively, and Hamilton does it with exceptional grace and insight.
"" - L. Gregory Jones, Dean and Professor of Theology, Duke Divinity School"

"I love this book. Adam Hamilton teaches us that we are far richer than we know, because the beauty and the fullness of the whole church is ours. Read, learn, and be happy.
- John Ortberg, author of God Is Closer Than You Think
