The Community of God

Short Review: This is a highly readable (and relatable) book on why we need the church. My go to book on why we need the church has been Eugene Peterson's Practice Resurrection. I still really recommend that book. But this is a very good complement to it. Two different writing styles, pastoral styles and generations that in the end agree that the church is not an optional add-on to our faith but an essential part of our faith.

I immediately picked up a copy of this for a young pastor friend of mine and I would like to re-read it before the end of the year.
