Synopsis

WHAT MAKES A COMMUNITY EXTRAORDINARY?When people live in community moved by the gospel and marked by the Spirit, great things happen. They commit to one another. They grieve together, sing together, eat, pray, and play together. They love, serve, honor, encourage, and provide for each other gladly. And they live on mission together.Hearts are healed, walls come down, and outsiders come in. No competition. No pretense. No vain conceit. Just full hearts breaking bread and giving freely.It is nothing short of amazing.Most of us live in a shadow of what God intended for us. Life in Community calls us into the light. Reclaiming Scripture’s stunning vision of gospel-centered community, it inspires us to live in love unbounded. Read it, live it, and join the movement: Help unleash the power of extraordinary community.6-Week group study included.

Goodreads review by Lindsey

(I'd give it a 4.2/5, but Goodreads doesn't fly like that.) Overall, a really good read about Christian Community. I'd definitely recommend if you're a Christian and are struggling/have struggled with loneliness. My only critique is that this book really needed to have a chapter about boundaries - b......more

I try not to rate everything 5 stars, but I think this one deserves it. This is a book I not only enjoyed, but will consider purchasing and giving away copies to others.
