Editorial Review: Product Description: What would you do if you met someone you thought just might be one of Jesus original disciples still living in the 21st Century? That's Jake's dilemma as he meets a man who talks of Jesus as if he had known him, and whose way of living challenges everything Jake had previously known. So You Don t Want to Go To Church Anymore is Jake s compelling journal that chronicles thirteen conversations with his newfound friend over a four-year period and how those exchanges turn Jake's world upside-down. With his help, Jake faces his darkest fears, struggles through brutal circumstances and comes out on the other side in the joy and freedom he always dreamed was possible. If you're tired of just going through the motions of Christianity and want to mine the depths of what it really means to live deeply in Christ, you ll find Jake s story will give you hope for your own. This book probes the difficult questions and offers some far-reaching answers. It just might turn your world upside-down as well! Average Rating:
 Rating:  - eye openingTHIS BOOK WAS VERY FAST READING AND GIVES YOU PAUSE TO THINK REGARDING WHAT OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD REALLY SHOULD BE, WITHOUT ALL THE BEAUROCRACY OF THIS WORLD GETTING IN THE WAY. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO ANYONE WHO WANTS A CLOSER RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD. Rating: - This Will Cause You To Rethink How Christ Called You To Live! Riveting!!!This is one of the best books I've ever read!!! One of the charachters, John, is constantly asking the hard questions. Through John and Jake's many conversations about real life I began to realize the importance of true fellowship, not busyness in some building. I go to church, this book doesn't tell you not to go, but it does challenge you as to why you go, and why you do the things you do in the church and the body. This is well worth the read, inspiring! Rating: - So you don't want to go to churchThe book arrived very quickly, way before I expected it, so kudo's to Amazon! Re the book, I haven't read it yet, it's the August read for our church women's group. Rating:  - The book is entertaining, but uses poor logicOk, i suppose i have a few positives and several negatives. I guess ill start with the positives. Despite the fact that i found myself in profound disagreement with "John" on several issues, there are some excellent points he makes that can serve to caution us to examine our motives. He also reminds us not to allow ourselves to just become part of the "machinery." I get the impression that the book was written with great sincerity and with the intent to free people. That being said... ... Read More Rating: - This book says it all!This book reaches anyone who has been lost or defeated by church-i-ness.It is for any church goer who has not fit in anywhere because of all the phoniness of the place. It reemphasizes that we are the church...we who are broken and betrayed and just find it very difficult to put on a happy face. An excellent read. I recommend it to people who have endured a lot of suffering in their lives and tried to find solace in the church. Your peace is in Christ alone.
