Daly makes a stark contrast between the Focus on the Family of James Dobson and the Focus on the Family of today, breaking away from his predecessor's combative relationship with the culture.
Instead, he humbly examines his own attitudes and motives without compromising his convictions. And he concludes that Christians must influence our broken society through an emphasis on actually living and loving our neighbors as Jesus would.
I can't say I agree with everything he says - Daly still gives too much legitimacy to Christian efforts to influence society through public policy - but he's moving in a positive direction.
Overall, ReFocus is an excellent - and big - first step toward making Focus on the Family relevant and inviting, rather than polarizing and alienating, to a broken world in need of the guidance it can provide.
