Church, Christianity, can it be radical? - By: Frazer, 05 Sep 2008 
Refformission isn't necessary very new or Radical, but this book is excellent! It hasin many ways changed my attitudes towards Church & Christianity.
It is an incredibly accessible book, where I was left wanting more & to my joy was not left with out when I found out about Driscoll's next book; "Confessions of a Reformission Rev". Equally as provocative & engaging!
At the end of each chapter there are a few questions about the content of the chapter, which is very helpful for group discussion or own personal reflection, which is what is needed when thinking corporately or individually about what is said. Both I think are needed!
Christianity & Church according to the Bible & Jesus is apparently life changing, it affects every facet of life, this book is a reminder of that & encourages every Christian to be hospitable, brutally honestin love, & applicable to whatever generation we may find ourselvesin with out leaving bits out of the gospel, which means "good news", if it is good news, why keep it to ourselves orin the last century or even centuries ago?
The Challenge of Reformission - By: C. J. Barratt, 16 Mar 2008 This is probably the most challeging Christian book I have read for a few years & summonses us to change our thinking on mission; if you're sitting there thinking the church is rapidly heading for oblivion then this book is for you! Mark tells us that today's mission field starts on our doorstep; he describes 'Reformission' as a radical call for Christians & Christian churches to recommit to living & speaking the gospel, & to resist the pressure to compromise its truth.
Mark is founding pastor of Mars Hill Churchin Seattle & well known to many more through his travelling & his podcasts. He challenges us to repent of our self-righteousness & to get on with the task of the great commission.
Mark writes intelligently, using clear conceptual models & drawing from research to support his material & yet, his message is clearly inspired & annointed, extremely readable, very blunt, provocative & will surely challenge his readers into action!
Each section ends with a set of reformission questions which makes the book ideal for house groups, & should enable them to transfer from Mark's experience of Seattlein to their own particular cultures where-ever they may be.
