Ratings and reviews

Loved the book! Francis Chan seems to touch the heart of God. I was moved, motivated and validated through this book. He touches on some sensitive topics that may offend you; but always read through with a pure heart and in prayer. Francis Chan's love for our Lord and the body of Christ flows through the pages of this book and will inspire you. I couldn't wait to read it; and was certainly not disappointed. Like another said, "This is a call to action; not just a good read." I don't think he'll mind me using that. lol

Francis Chan does it once again! This book is not a about his opinion regarding the gathering of believers, but it's about the scriptures guidance on how to gather as the body of Christ. I have been encouraged and challenged to respond as a Christ follower in the areas of suffering as Christ did in order to know Him more & become more like him day by day! I am glad I read the book in it's entirety, and am willing to become a more active member of the body of Christ especially at our Churchbnb gatherings on Sundays

It's not just about building churches but to me it is about personal evangelism. Inviting people into my home and sharing Christ's love. Love it when Francis states that as he is preaching Christ he doesn't worry about whom he might offend but rather is he pleasing God!
