With candor and insight, Tony Campolo passionately hits on hot button issues that impact the Christian life, including how to: protect yourself from technology without becoming Amish; have a devotional life without becoming a monk, and figure out the will of God without hearing voices from Heaven.

So, for instance, the author talks about wise use of resources and technology; raising healthy children without guilt; understanding basic theology without being an intellectual snob, and much more. The book was written twenty years ago so is inevitably a bit dated, but in my view the principles are still relevant.
I liked the structure of the book, including both teaching and anecdotes from the author's experience. My only slight problem is that every Bible quotation is from the King James version, which I find somewhat stilted, despite being familiar with the passages concerned. This could be confusing to a young or new believer, and feels out of place in such a clearly written book.
Overall, though, I thought it a sound and positive read. Tony Campolo was a voice of common sense in the Christian world at the end of the 20th century, and I would recommend this book, in a low-key way, to anyone interested in the 'ordinary' Christian lifestyle. ( )
