It appears to me that this is a book we all need to read. An summary of how the evangelical church got to where it's at today.
I think it fell of our radars. So please some step up to the plate and get this book going.

However, why bid on a book by a big named author that is sure to end up in March Madness? The lowest discount for March Madness authors is 30%. I will let others by the high price to get this into production and I will pick it up at a higher discount! [:D]
Well, gee, Keith.
Because evangelicals need to return to 'truth'. If you delay your purchase, you'll delay your return to 'truth'. What if Jesus comes before you return to 'truth'?? I don't think you shouldn't risk it.
Looks interesting. However and let me make this suggestion what about a book re: Made in Canada? Oh ya, most Canadian churches follow American models anyway, so the Book Made in America could quite possibly be applied to us all well.

I came across this sentence in Francis Chan's, Forgotten God. Made me think of this post.
The benchmark of success in church services has become more about attendance than the movement of the Holy Spirit. The “entertainment” model of church was largely adopted in the 1980s and ’90s, and while it alleviated some of our boredom for a couple of hours a week, it filled our churches with self-focused consumers rather than self-sacrificing servants attuned to the Holy Spirit.

When I saw the title of this book I immediately thought of Canada as well. You make a good point that evangelical Churches in Canada have been greatly influenced by evangelicalism in the USA so I think this would be worth the read. And yet Canadian evangelicals also have their own flavour. I would love to have seen at least a chapter in this book that has a world-wide focus but perhaps that is another book.
