I've put off writing a review for this one, because I wasn't sure how to adequately summarize what I loved about this book. 

First of all, it gave me hope. Hope for the Church and hope that there are people like Reese out in the world doing the good work of loving God and loving others well. It gave me hope that all is not lost and that the way of Jesus can be and is still relevant in our culture today.

Secondly, I thought this book was thought-provoking and a great conversation starter for those in ministry. I also personally related to some of the thoughts on Gen Z (as I'm a Gen Z, myself) and thought it put into perspective a little bit more why I am drawn to certain things and put off by others when it comes to church.

The research and information used within the book were synthesized well, and I didn't feel bogged down by information. I enjoyed the easy flow/pace of the book and found it to be engaging and very well-written. Nearly every page had underlinable, highlightable thoughts. 

One thing that stuck out to me was his approach to LGBTQ+ individuals in the church. While my theology in this area has been/is evolving, I thought his perspective and emphasis on creating a space where people feel loved and accepted was refreshing and hopeful. I think it is a huge step in the right direction for churches to leave behind messages of shame and rejection in order for true encounters with Christ to take place and loving communities of believers to be formed. 

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would definitely recommend it, especially to anyone involved in ministry/church.
