The first half of this book focused on what's wrong with churches today. This was actually the more powerful part of the book, and by inference gave a good description of what church should be. Not just church as an organization, but individuals in the church.
The second part of the book was still good, but a little disappointing and frustrating. It tried to talk about the characteristics of a good church, but since the author was envisioning something he'd never really seen, it was a fuzzy vision and left me wondering if it even existed.
So, the two questions posed in the book title were never really answered, and this book served better as a guide to problems that commonly arise in churches.
Overall the book is written in a easy to read conversational style, and the author's sincerity shines through. The two questions posed in the book title were never really answered, and this book served better as a guide to problems that commonly arise in churches.
