The book is written by Frank Viola, a pastor in the US who has been doing new, non-institutional ways of church for the past 20 years.
I'm not finished it yet, but there've been some great practical helps in it. I was worried at first that it might be a little too detailed, or that it would provide a comprehensive guide to planting a Frank Viola church, but it's been a real encouragement to read. The guy doesn't hold back from saying what he thinks, but he's also very humble about it. He doesn't try to give a blueprint for what a non-institutional organic church will look like (because there isn't just one way). He just shares what he's found through his own experience - what's worked and what hasn't, the failures and triumphs etc.
