From their site:
KERRY SHOOK is one of today’s most gifted communicators offering a clear,
contemporary and creative teaching style.
[FAIL] He is senior pastor of Fellowship of The Woodlands, one of
the fastest growing churches [FAIL -generally not a hallmark of a biblical church] in America.
Kerry and his wife, Chris, founded Fellowship of The Woodlands in 1993; and since then, the church has grown to 15,600
in average attendance each weekend. Fellowship of The Woodlands is a multi-site church with its main campus in The Woodlands outside of Houston, TX and a satellite campus in the Humble/Kingwood/Atascocita area. Future satellites are in the planning stages.
Kerry believes that church should be
engaging and fun [FAIL], calling it “The Best Hour of Your Week”. He strives to eliminate the barriers of boredom, unfriendliness, and fear that keep people from experiencing not just religion, but a relationship with Jesus Christ. His messages are
relevant [FAIL] and his illustrations memorable.
Kerry Shook Ministries is a worldwide television ministry that broadcasts to a local, national and international audience. Pastor Kerry can now be seen by millions of people in 50 states and 200 countries worldwide.
[who is this church all about now? It seems a little foggy.]
Kerry’s first book and New York Times Best-seller (co-authored with Chris), One Month to Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life, was released in February 2008. The book encourages readers to
face their own mortality [FAIL] and
live life to the fullest.[FAIL] The OneMonthtoLive.com website supports
total life fitness [FAIL] and allows people to take the 30-Day Challenge. In addition, the One Month to Live Nationwide Church Growth Campaign is designed to help pastors
unleash their church’s potential [FAIL].
How much of this sounds like New Agey humanism? Do the words "seeker sensitive" ever come to mind? I live in Utah right now, so I feel I can say he looks scarily like Steven Covey.
Oh yeah...this is from the website for his book

Seriously, I don't even want to start on this one.
