Synopsis

Let's face it. Church isn't working. We hear sermons about the abundant life Jesus promised, but how many of us are actually living it? How many of our churches are thriving? How many people in our congregations are experiencing God's blessings? Maybe it's time to call it quits.

Quit church? Well, not exactly. 

Drawing from his experience coaching hundreds of churches toward true growth, Chris Sonksen calls on us to quit our casual, cultural commitment to church as we know it. No more half-hearted attempts to win the favor of God and other people by doing the right thing. No more doing things out of a sense of duty. Instead, Sonksen reveals the spiritual habits that release the blessings of God, both on each individual and on the church. He explains why we struggle to put these practices into action and gives practical solutions to move us forward into health, growth, and maturity.

Summary: A challenge to quit a half-hearted commitment to church for lives of discipleship in six areas. Chris Sonksen wants us to quit church. "Oh no!" I thought. "Another one of these emerging church types!" But I was intrigued as well--the title was a good hook for me. I was curious to find out wh......more

Goodreads review by Aurelia

So this isn't really a title you would expect to find on a Christian bookshelf, is it? Quit church? Huh? You mean like don't go anymore? No that is not at all what this book means. If I'm completely honest, I'm not entirely sure what the whole "quit church" means, but I definitely get the pieces of......more

Goodreads review by Michael

I'm a little torn on this one. To me, it felt like the author basically took many topics in the Bible related to church that the church isn't doing today and instead of explaining why we should do these things, he spun it in a way that we should "quit not doing them" (if that makes sense in a semi-d......more
