I know Leonard as a dear friend and I know that this was a difficult book to write. Some of the things he had to say needed to be said. I particularly like the idea of relational evangelism that is spoken about in this book. I've always been pro-evangelism. The point is that my training was done from a legalistic point of view. Recently, I was sharing a "soulcafe" with Leonard and told him about my experience as a minister in Ohio doing evangelism. I told him that I was required to receive training in a step by step evangelism 101 course. After using this material one or two times unsuccessfully, I realized it wan't me, it was the material. People were put off by the lack of relationship. So, kuddos to Sweet for once again driving home the point of relational evangelism. I am in the midst of reading this book now.

BUT the EPIC acronym he presents in this book is a re-hash of his 2000 release of "Post-Modern Pilgrims." He presents the E-P-I-C chapter by chapter here as well. When I thumbed the contents of "Starbucks" I thought "Gee, I've already paid once for this material, now he wants me to pay again?" I put the book back on the shelf. If you have not been exposed to Sweet's exposition of EPIC, then it really is good and this new book is probably the one to pick up. Jeff I LOVE Leonard Sweet’s material.
