Reinventing the Church around 1999 I knew I wanted to get the book (especially after reading a favourable review from NEXT WAVE) . So my friend Daniel got it from

Happy Birthday Joel Vestal! I’m so happy for him to have such a blessed in the basement time 🙂 There aren’t many chances that I’ve in being part of the process of printing a book and also to see how the final touch up looked like. Further more even before reading the book actually knowing…

Finally, I got the final book of the New Kind of Christian trilogy by Brian McLaren … in fact it was the only copy I could get after calling one of the managers at the bookstore. Apparently, there were only two copies brought in (to test the market?) but when Gareth and I arrived there…
