If there is one book that has changed my thinking about the way to do church, it is this one. The concept is really simple - we are called to do church in community, not as individuals. But the practical implications for me were quite stunning? How often do we just go to church, have a quick cup of tea, and then disappear for the rest of the week? Is this really what the body of Christ looks like?While I don't necessarily agree with all the theological points raised, it's the practical side of things where this book really shines. The authors encourage their readers to consider how to really share their lives, encouraging hospitality and doing life corporately, not just a church service on Sundays. It's quite confronting, in some respects, but I think that's a good thing. This book has had an immediate impact on the way i view Church life. Its focus on gospel word, gospel mission, and community not only reeks of bible truth, but also provides a great lens wherewith to view Church ministry. I'd recommend this book to anyone who desires a greater love for Christ and His Body but also knows they need to be shaken down to examine their core beliefs concerning the local church.
