Summary: The New Mission Field
Review: Recently I read Tom Glegg's book "Lost in America" and my heart was moved time and time again through this awesome material. I grabbed my pen and highlighter and took the material apart. It's a great book, giving God's people a huge "challenge shot" in the arm! Get out of your Comfort Zone, we matter to God, there is a huge harvest of Souls waiting and God wants to use US to reach them. If any Church or Teacher wants new, fresh material with thoughts and insights into why we are here - THIS BOOK IS IT! This book will soon sweep he country - I hope you will get it now and allow God to use it to change you!

Summary: A realistic look at the problems and keys to the solution
Review: This book has given me a great insight into the challenges facing Christianity in America today. But, better yet, in bringing these things to light, Lost in America also identifies ways that we as Christians can reach out beyond the obstacles to impact our country for Christ. In my opinion, this book is a MUST for any Bible-believing Christian who wants to impact their neighbors with the Good News of Christ. We often need to examine things in a new light, and this book has been an inspiration for me to be mindful of the need to be on mission, and wise in the steps I take. My sincere gratitude to Tom Clegg and Warren Bird for writing this book.

Summary: Wow! Eye-opening masterpiece!
Review: This book is excellent. The authors really get to the heart of whole-congregation evangelism. And, they don't pull any punches either. Tom Clegg, who's voice we hear throughout the book, served as a pastor in the US, a missionary in Africa, and has consulted with many churches regarding church growth and evangelism. He writes this book as a missionary to the United States (i.e., he writes in a way that will engage our culture). The book is written in three sections - Changes, Choices, & Challenges. Almost every chapter has the following sections:
The Big Idea - Introduces you to the subject of the chapter.
Up Close & Personal - Gives an example from a church in the U.S.
Rent this Movie - Movie from which discussion of the topic can be addressed.
Connections - Questions for personal application.
Discussion Questions - Personal or small group study. I plan to use this book in a small group setting in our church. There are a number of people in our congregation who will hear the truth in this book and embrace it. When we embrace the vital necessity of relationship-evangelism we will reach our friends and neighbors in the twenty-first century. I recommend this book to every Christian. It will open your eyes, even if one or two of the stories herein break your heart in the process. It is in our brokenness that we will be used by God to reach others.

Summary: Turbocharge your impact
Review: This is a great book. I have been a Christian for well over 20 years. I have been through discipleship training, read books on evangilism and always wanted to reach people for Christ. Yet, I always felt that I was not doing enough. I had a heart for the lost, but what could I do? Why would they listen to me? What if I fall on my face and the fool? In Lost in America, Tom Clegg and Warren Bird make the evangilism possibilities of our daily lives very real. "I can do that." I kept saying that through the book. This book makes one feel the need to give our lives to rescue those who otherwise will die. And, it is an urgent need! People are dying today without Christ. What can you do to save one person? Read this book, and you will be motivated and inspired to join the battle in a very real way.

Summary: Get this book.
Review: You are not going to want to put this book down. It hammered me as I read, prayed, & thought about the condition of God's church here in America. Get this book. Read it. Then buy it for whoever you know is, or needs to be, passionate about the church. You will not be disappointed.
