What should we do now by Rev. William Baker is his message to believers to return to the heart of the gospel. The book is divided into 14 chapters, and the author explains his message in detail in these chapters. From the first chapter titled "We should pick an authority, just not ourselves" to the last chapter titled "We should believe hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things," the author tells Christians what they should do to bring about a change. It's the author's belief that if individual Christians can work on themselves and fix themselves first, then that's a starting point for them to reach out to others who need help. The author in his book points out what is wrong with the church, the failings of the church, and how to correct those, beginning with the Christians that make up the church. As the name of the book implies, the author tells believers what they should do now that the church is in the state that it is.
 
The author identifies several issues that the church needs to address. They include hope, political correctness, the love of God and the need to present the gospel to the world in love, the unity of the church, the loss of credibility and influence of the church, and the need to recommit to the ministry of reconciliation, among several others. It's not a wishy-washy book, but one that calls on the readers to take the steps necessary for a change to occur.
 
The book is unique in its own way. The title of all 14 chapters of the book begins with "We should." It's the author's way of telling the readers that this book requires you to do something; he did not just write it to be a theological book but to serve as a form of guidance. Another unique thing about the book is the use of scriptural references throughout. The author felt the need to include Bible passages as he addressed various issues in the book, telling the readers what the Bible has to say. He also made use of quotes from other people apart from this Bible. One of which was the quote by the mystery author Stephen King, which formed the title of the last chapter.
 
The book was well written, and I commend the author for the idea of including a call to action in each chapter and for passing across a message that he believes is urgent for the church to hear. I also commend the editor for a job well done. The book lacks any negative aspects.
 
I rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. The writing style of the author, which made the book easy to understand, was an important factor behind the perfect rating. It's one thing for someone to have an idea or a message he wants the world to see, but to be able to carefully explain it to his target audience shows skill. I recommend this book to Christians who are willing to work on themselves and be agents of hope and light, bringing the gospel of love to the world.
