Definitely not for everyone!

This was a challenging read. I found it inspiring and challenging to really think deeply about the church and how I can outwork my faith within it biblically.

However, I am the kind of person who views everything with a critical eye and spend a lot of time thinking, discussing and weighing things up about the church and about the things I read and consume.

If you’re more the type of person who takes things at face value and if you’re easily influenced by what you read I would definitely not recommend this book. It has a danger of encouraging criticism of your churches without many practical solutions and I could see it leading to frustration.

But if you’re in church leadership or want to have your theology and practices challenged in a fairly blunt and refreshing way then I’d definitely have a read of it. Just be prepared to think critically about the way you do things and choose not to take offence!
