Editorial Review: Product Description: 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! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Bad title - fantastic book!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. ... Read More Rating:  - Not Enough to Grab My AttentionSo You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore is the second fiction title by Windblown Media, which is most famous for publishing The Shack. Like The Shack, this book has been criticized for bad theology. It would be easy for me to say that this book is purely fiction, but that would be a lie. This book is merely a vehicle for Wayne Jacobsen and Dave Coleman's views on Christianity. I would hesitate to call it bad theology, because the authors really do not delve into standard theological issues. They ... Read More Rating:  - Don't miss the forest for the treesI finished the book in about two days. A very good and intriguing read. Perhaps the greatest thing that I have taken away from the book is a reminder of both the complexity and simplicity of Father's love. I have read several of the comments written about this book, and I can't help but wonder if the majority of them have still missed the central message of the book and the gospel itself: Everything is about the Father's love. A search of scripture will quickly reveal that ... Read More Rating: - A Dramatic Fiction Title That Ministers To The Broken Hearted"So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore" brought me to tears and ultimately, healing. I am personally guilty of thinking I could build a relationship with God without any involvement from the church. In the past, I have placed my pastors and leaders on pedestals on which they didn't belong. This book reminded me that the church is made up of fallible human beings, myself included. We are fallible, but usable by God. I have discovered a new favorite author in Wayne Jacobsen who ministers to my ... Read More Rating: - What I needed.Haven't read thte entire book yet, but the first 4 chapters brought me to a place I knew I was looking for and once had. Had moved from my "hometown" and church 12 years ago and have been very discouraged with the results of my looking for another home church. This book, so far, has reminded me of who my first love is and how my focus has been skewed. Browse for similar items by category:
