"Speaking Christianese to an unbeliever is like speaking Swahili to a German. This book shows Christians how to speak lovingly and relationally to the world around us." -Dr. Tony Evans

"Terry offers a prescription for change-a prescription that calls for us to tear down the walls that separate the Church from the world and render mute her message. He offers a new (or more accurate) view of sanctification that calls audaciously for us to touch the unclean thing-but only with holy hands and a renewed mind." -George Otis Jr.
