Great great book to walk yourself or someone in your church through that has been through church hurt. Spoke life into in a time I wanted to be forever done with church.
This book opened my eyes. I'm a born debater. And sometimes it is extremely difficult to understand why other people choose to believe or follow the things they know to be true. And then there was this. This book will heal SO many readers. I can't wait to pass on this message. Can we all just kindly and openly discuss and listen without arguing and fighting - we can hear others without having to feel like their goal is to change our minds and thoughts or be warped and hurt. We can pause and understand where other's come from and respect that. We don't have to agree but this book is going to give many the eyes to see that it is possible to be civil and keep the peace. I was offered the ability to read this book before publishing and these are my own opinions.… (lisätietoja)
This book is for those who have left - or thought about leaving - their church congregations, but who are followers of Jesus who keep hoping for something more. It's also for those who don't understand the growing exodus from church congregations that has been happening, at least in the West, in recent years.
The author looks at some of the problems that can arise in both traditional and modern churches, and reasons why most organisations veer towards hierarchies, control, and large numbers of meetings. He acknowledges the importance of structure in short-term projects, and the value of church congregations for many people. This book is not an attempt to persuade anyone to leave their local church groups, but to encourage those who have already done so.
There are many Scriptural references, some anecdotes in the author's own life and journey, and a few answers to possible objections. There are also some helpful principles (NOT prescriptive in any way!) for moving forward, extending the Church (the Body of Christ worldwide and locally) and growing in love for God and other people without, necessarily, being tied to a Sunday morning gathering.
Possibly a tad dry in places, and sometimes a bit obvious - but overall I would recommend this very highly.… (lisätietoja)

Understanding God's love requires no a classroom lecture but a long bath. In HE LOVES ME! Wayne Jacobsen fills the tub and invites us to soak in real life, the inner life of the Trinity. What really Happened on the Cross ? is worth reading five or six times, then sinking quietly and deeply into its life-giving water. Dr. Larry Crabb
