This book changed my whole outlook on church and what it means. I had a lot of church hurt; I believe God just did a work in me.

This message is needed so badly right now. Thank you Lord for putting this to words through Francis. It’s about time.

Thought provoking book. Challenges some of our American Church as usual mindsets.
Exquisite and Profound

Francis Chan finds a very loving and humble way to point out a glaring and, somewhat tormented, truth about the American church: it is soft. In this book, his elegant speaking and usage of both Biblical verses as well as his own life experiences paints a picture of life and what the church should really be like.

A great read for any who has a hunger and a drive to want “more” from their churches. That is to say, this is not a book correcting churches, but correcting individuals and how we perceive what churches should be so we can be a better Bride to Christ. A glorious read from start to finish. The words used can be harsh if not read in the right manner; definitely understand that this is truly a love letter to the every day denizen of the church.
Eye opening

Very refreshing to have the opportunity to read another Christian with a passion for what church really means. Eye opening that a beloved pastor feels that we can and need to do better at making disciples. I loved this book and will read it again.
A wake up call to those who consume church

This book has been a wake up call for me. Francis has done it again but waking us up out of our slumber out of the Laodecia church and showing the criticality of what the early church actually was and should be today.
We’ll done Francis!

Francis Chan has moved so far to one side of issues that he no longer promotes the gospel of saved by grace through faith but instead, promotes a gospel of works which isn’t the gospel at all. Of course he would deny doing so and at the same time, determining people’s destiny as dependent upon their deeds. Hypocritically he threatens those who critique the church at the beginning of this book as being condemned by God and then dived head long into critiquing the church and calling for house churches. Bad idea. House churches would be necessary if we cannot congregate due to persecution and pressure, but shouldn’t be the norm. It’s how people start having bad theology. I wouldn’t recommend this book or any of his, and i used to love his books, to new or old believers because his message has been corrupted. His involvement sigh Benny Hinn and the new apostolic movement (which basically practices mysticism and witchcraft) disqualifies him from being a teacher. Like Solomon, Francis Chan has fallen far from where we was and needs our prayers to get him back.

A wonderful and prophetic Book. I was blessed and thank God that he lead me to read it. I’ve been encouraging my brothers and sisters in Christ to read it.

Could not put this book down! I've always loved "Real Christianity" (Wilberforce), and this book is today's version of Real Christianity. ❤️❤️
