It was good. That being said it is pretty standard evangelistic content just with a newish name of being subversive. Nothing ground breaking but for someome new to the info will appreciate it.
A great primer if you're not in a culture of gospel fluency; reinforcement if you are.

I am so appreciative of Christian books that really make you stop and think, and this is definitely one of them. The author continues to bring you back to the Bible, and he reminds you of our purpose in this world. It has nothing to do with getting everyone to like us and feel good. Our mission is to shake things up a bit. The enemy actively controls this world, and we are in a war against his powers. We are called to live a life like Christ and glorify Him in this world. This is a heavy book, a...
Good challenging book for Christians to read. About being on mission for God and not just living comfortable consumer driven church lives. We are called to be apart of God's mission. His mission is to redeem a people for Himself. We are the instruments He uses to do that redeeming. The problem is that we often do not see ourselves in that capacity. Stetzer takes time in this book to correct that thinking, so that we see ourselves as agents of gospel change. He calls us to live in rebellion aga
The world is in crisis. On the one hand, religious fanatics (some calling themselves Christian) are increasingly focusing on exterminating those who differ. On the other hand, socially liberal elements are becoming increasingly more belligerent in imposing their lifestyle and beliefs on others. In the midst, a growing secular humanism that strives for conformity whatever the cost and cultural “police” making sure that “politically correct” is the language of the day, transforming our progeny int...
I’ll be honest: I’m always a little nervous when I start reading books with words like “radical” or “manifesto” or “secret” in the title. Or, while we’re at it, words like “subversive.” I don’t get nervous because I’m particularly afraid I’ll find the book too challenging; I get nervous because I’m afraid the book can’t live up to the hype.I recently threw caution to the wind and decided to read Ed Stetzer’s latest, Subversive Kingdom: Living as Agents of Gospel Transformation (B&H). I follow Ed...
Others stated this book was "pretty standard stuff" for a book of this type. while that may be true to a point, a large part of that is the fact that the Bible is the same yesterday, today and forever. when we read and re-read it, or write about it, it's the same book and same principles. I felt this book took an interesting idea about Christians subverting the larger world culture and then challenged us this live what the Bible has always said to. It did so in an interesting and engaging way. I...
"Subversive Kingdom works. Stetzer manages to take a potentially complex topic and make it accessible and real. By framing the discussion around the Kingdom of God, he provides a theologically sound framework for missional ministry while also supplying the reader with a powerful picture of what that ministry looks like..."Read my full review HERE
Meh...Ed Stetzer is a talented writer, but I found it difficult to read what seemed like, to me, another"how to trick people into loving Christ by giving them stuff or presenting another gimmick for sorta kinda presenting the Gospel. Some floodlights find the ideas presented, novel, but for me, they seemed a contrived and I would not use this approach or mindset for witnessing.
Pretty standard stuff for a book of this type. It had a few good quotes in it--but unfortunately I had the audiobook version so I couldn't highlight them. Also had some really great stuff on some of Jesus's parables.
Subversion...Good read on the subversive nature of God's Kingdom. With a culture becoming increasingly adverse to the gospel, the church needs to start thinking in subversive ways.

Good book, probably to give to Christians who need to become aware of the mission around them, spends its time in Jesus' parables and the Sermon on the Mount.
So far...very good book.
