But your questions are definitely addressed, and Andy does a great job at it. Eddy -- that sounds cool. I'll stop by to see how it shapes up. Mark -- hope you find it as helpful as I did. =) Doug — there does seem to be a desire for larger impact in American youth culture, whether because of altruism or celebrity and technology definitely allows for greater impact.

I'm actually hosting an online/virtual book club (through my blog) for anyone interested in reading this book together in the month of September. I've heard great reviews for the book, so I look forward to learning from Crouch... Glad you recommend it as well James.

It's good to have your expert opinion on what is worth reading. I'm intrigued by the seemingly implicit assumption that we should all want to change the WORLD (I'll use all caps to denote the totality of human existence and lowercase for our immediate environment). The WORLD is in need of changing, no doubt. I wonder how common is this desire to have such a broad impact? Is it a function of the increase in WORLD-wide communication and influence that we observe on the internet and TV? How many people fail to change their world because they recognize they won't have an impact on the WORLD? In any case, it sounds like this book might address some of these questions, as making on omelet (or a frittata?) is really more of a world-changing activity than a WORLD-changing one.
