Synopsis

Building deep community as a fellowship of believers. Author Barnabas Piper states in the first chapter of his book: “We are looking for something personal, something deeply meaningful, something with which we can identify. And this book is an invitation to find that in the church, because God wants us to …Part of God’s perfect strategy is offering hurting, tired, worn out, needy sinners like you and me a place to belong in … A place in which to encounter the profound, transformative, healing, restoring grace of Jesus Christ.” This book explores how you can help to create a church where everybody feels at home: a place where fellow believers build genuine, honest, meaningful Christian relationships and enjoy deep fellowship as a community of believers. You may be a new believer and wonder what it means to belong to a church; you may be reluctant to commit to your church because of past experiences; you may have recently relocated and want to find a church where you feel at home; or you may love your church and desire to commit to it more deeply and serve it more fully. Whatever the case, this book will help you to see that belonging to a church is a good gift from God, the outworking of our identity as brothers and sisters in Christ, and worth your time, love, and commitment.

Goodreads review by Kayla on April 23, 2019

This book has several issues, too many acronyms and cutesy names for everything , it was confusing. Secondly I thought this book would be a kind of self help guide for social anxiety issues. Her remedy for this is exercise and getting up early, instead of you know maybe actual therapy and maybe medi......more

Goodreads review by Jess on June 21, 2018

3-3.5 I can't quite decide. I don't usually write reviews for books I read on here however I picked this book up at Book Expo and figured a review was worth writing in exchange for the ARC. The first line of the blurb sucked me in: "It's the great paradox of the digital age - the internet connects u......more

Goodreads review by Tara on March 18, 2020

This book is as light and frothy as a bubble, but just as pretty and attractive. This book explores how to create communities with authenticity and meaning. Yes it is a simple. Supposedly, what you put out is what you receive... Good luck with that... But the desire to live an authentic life, with v......more
