Amazing and irreplaceable.
This is a book based on speeches by Jim Punton. Jim was an amazing teacher who worked with Frontier Youth Trust as well as preaching and teaching. Sadly, Jim died in 1986. This book captures some of his understanding of Jesus, the Kingdom of God and the radical nature of the Church.
This book manages to capture something of his spoken style and his passion. It might seem a little pricey for an old paperback, but the content is priceless.

Well-meant, but misleading
I bought this book because I admire Alan Hirsch, the author of the foreword and have a number of his books.
This book contains some good material, but a lot of it repeats Hirsch's other books. Indeed, a lot of the material is repeated again and again, both in Hirsch's books and others on the same theme. I also found that I profoundly disagree with the authors of this book, esp. when they identify the gifts of Ephesians 4 with secular abilities, making them virtually synonymous. To give one example and one only.
The biblical image of an evangelist is a herald, someone who proclaims a victory or the birth of a monarch. (This is true, both in the Hebrew context and in the context of the classical world of Greek civilisation and the Roman Empire.) Thus, the Bible takes the secular concept of "Good News" and applies it both to Jesus' birth and to the announcement of His victory over Satan, Sin and Death. Although the evangelist appeals for people to come to believe in this message, the primary role is proclamation. To take the modern ideas of salespeople or recruiters and use them to explain the biblical concept is to work backwards. The fact that (some) present-day evangelists behave like sales people or hucksters tells us nothing about what the Bible intends to say.
Also, the argument that these gifts are somehow in our DNA from birth goes against the idea that they are gifts given to the Church by the risen Christ and also flies in the face of the rest of the New Testament teaching on the Spirit's work and the gifts of the Spirit.

Great Little Screwdriver.
As with all Victorinox products, this is very well made and very well designed. It fits into the corkscrew, so it does not occupy any extra space. It is quite light, so it doesn't add any noticeable weight or bulk to my Swiss Army Knife.
As I wear glasses I appreciate having a very small screwdriver at hand. My other small screwdrivers are either too big to carry easily or so small that they could easily be lost. Although this one is very small, its location in the corkscrew ensures it is secure until used.
