Synopsis

What would you do if you met someone you thought just might be one of Jesus’ original disciples still living in the 21st Century? That’s Jake’s dilemma as he meets a man who talks of Jesus as if he had known him, and whose way of living challenges everything Jake had previously known.  So You Don’t Want to Go To Church Anymore is Jake’s compelling journal that chronicles thirteen conversations with his newfound friend over a four-year period and how those exchanges turn Jake’s world upside-down. With his help, Jake faces his darkest fears, struggles through brutal circumstances and comes out on the other side in the joy and freedom he always dreamed was possible.If you're tired of just going through the motions of Christianity and want to mine the depths of what it really means to live deeply in Christ, you'll find Jake's story will give you hope for your own.  This book probes the difficult questions and offers some far-reaching answers.  It just might turn your world upside-down as well!

I really liked this book. My husband and I read it together. We both enjoyed it, finishing it much faster than we normally finish the books we read together.

Over the past year our family has started participating in a house based church instead of a traditional building church. We have really enjoyed the freedom that has come in doing that. This book really confirmed my discontent with what "church" should look like as well as provoked other thoughts on......more

Goodreads review by Rod on May 27, 2018

This is a poor title for the book. It's more about HOW to go to church: Relationally - with people and with God. A strange little book that I tried to hate. And did for a bit - but then it seemed to redeem itself. It's a novel with a huge message. More to come.........more

Goodreads review by LadyCalico on June 12, 2010

What do I think about this book? I don't know. This book contained the Christ-focus I felt The Shack sorely lacked and it did not push the Universalist beliefs that made me so uncomfortable with the Shack. How now shall you live? I still don't know what is the answer, but I do know for sure that the......more
