Book Reviews of So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore
Book Review: Bad title - fantastic book!
Summary: 5 Stars
Every once in awhile a book comes along that you just want to shout about from the rooftops and everyone should read and digest and it is a life changing kind of book. They don't come around often enough, but they do come around. This book is like that for me. I think everyone should read it and don't do so unless you have a pen or highlighter in your hand because the wisdom and insight in this book is uncomparable and you will want to be able to go back and catch the highlights over and over.
I feel that I owe it to you to tell you the downsides of this book first though. It should win a prize for the "Worst Name of a Book" contest. Yep, the worst part of this book is the title - it makes it sound like a non-fiction book (but it is fiction) although it is non-fiction wisdom in a fictional scenario. The reason the name is so bad is that it gives the impression that this book is going to be anti-church and it is really not. It is pro-relationship with Father God and definitely about priorities, but not "Don't go to church again!" So now that I have clarified what is wrong with the book, let me tell you a few things that are great about the book...
I started the book and got about 3 chapters into it before I finally said to myself, "Would you just grab a pen and start underlining already?!?" So I did. I thought I could share a couple highlights with you in this review - except that by the end of the book I had highlighted so much that I'll have to read through it a couple more times to even be able to highlight the highlights!
One quote from the book is in the context of trying to get Father God to approve of us so we can be fully loved -
"You think you can earn Father's approval. We're approved not because of anything we can do, but because of what He did for us on the cross. Honestly, there is not one thing you can do to make him love you any more today, and there's not one thing you can do to make him love you any less, either. He just loves you."
There is another section about Sunday School and a fork that is fantastic and the part about the journey and the paragraph about the caterpillar from the inside out... you get the picture.
Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to this book - you will not regret it!
Summary of So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore
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!Christian Living Books
