What about personal redemption?

So I have been thinking about the concerns about "Everything Must Change" being a very social gospel/save the planet and not enough about a personal salvation-commitment-experience with Jesus.
Just a couple of thoughts:

1. Ben brought this up and I think it should be emphasized: We should not read "everything must change" without first being reading "the secret message of Jesus." It's truly the precursor to this book. We don't "HAVE" to read it, but it does make one approach EMC in a very different way.
2. I wonder if even though we claim to be post modern aware and sensitive, we are still hopelessly inclined to view things in a very modernistic/industrial age/John Locke enlightenment way! I mean what if the individual salvation experience can only be truly experienced through a communal/global experience and not the other way around. Which is the way we have all been taught: The global and communal is second to the individual/personal experience.
