"This book is for Christians whose hearts are on fire. This is for the visionary, the idealist. It is for the man who is not satisfied with the status quo in Christianity, and who believes that there is something big that can be done about it. This is for the Christian who believes the church and its people can be everything He wanted them to be—to fulfil the purpose for which he ordained them. This is for the spiritual optimist in a dark age." (From the Author's Introduction)
