Synopsis

In Becoming a True Spiritual Community (formerly titled The Safest Place on Earth), Larry Crabb explores such a place, where God can heal disconnected people and allow them to reconnect with each other and, ultimately, with Him.In today's frenetic society, people rarely develop intimate friendships. Instead, they spend their lives essentially disconnected from others, rushing through life content with brief visits and casual conversations. But what if one were to develop a community, a spiritual community, of people who walked with and supported each other through life's journey? A community of real friends who listened to each other's personal tragedies without merely trying to fix the problems, who encouraged and nurtured each other's strengths, and who accepted people for who they really are, instead of the image they try to portray.Accompanying diagrams and discussion questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.

I believe this book can be helpful to those with some experience in ministry.

Several of his ideas gave me pause to reflect on my own experience of community. However, there is......more

Goodreads review by Jason on December 22, 2014

I am working my way through a series of books by Larry Crabb. The most recent one I read was entitled The Pressure's Off, which was a really good book. Becoming a True Spiritual Community (1999) was the next on the list. I figured it would not be much different from other books I have read recently......more

Goodreads review by Mark on October 25, 2018

Crabb paints an extremely attractive picture of what a spiritual community could be and what "church" should be. Not church the institution, but church, the gathering of people in fellowship with one another. This book gets to the heart issues which are critical for effective community, but is a bit......more

Goodreads review by Kerrfunk on October 08, 2016

This book has some great stuff to say about spiritual community, but I found there was a lot of dreck to wade through. At one point I wrote in the margins, "Larry, you've lost me. I don't like your content or style or manner." The book is divided into three sections. Section One was good, I was exci......more
