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:  - I want everyone to read this book!This book came at just the right time in my life, tired of religion, tired of working so hard to be accepted by the church system, tired of not having a more vibrant, real relationship with the Lord. As I started to express some of what I feel, I also began to feel the wary and doubting eyes of my church friends who wondered what was going wrong in my life. Then I found the book. The key issue, in my opinion, is that everything we have is really about and because the Father loves us! ... Read More Rating: - A must readI have found this book to be an answer to the confusion and discouragement many people feel about their church experience. The book helped me put the emphasis of my faith back in proper alignment: on the Lord Jesus Christ and the Word of God, which are always relevant in any age, any situation. I recommend this book very highly to anyone. Rating: - AmazingNot only did this book point out some of the problems with religion, but it provided focus for what we need to do to fix this problems. Rating:  - Some bias, but worth readingThe strong message that Jacobsen and Coleman work to convey results in an extraordinarily dialogue-heavy novel. Jake Colsen and John are the only two characters described at any length; neither of them achieves personhood but rather serve as mouthpieces for the points of the authors. Other features common to compelling writing are weak as well: scenery, engaging plot, authentic relationships etc. This is a book on a mission, and that mission does not include striving for excellent fiction writing. Read More Rating: - Wonderful, eye-opening book for everyone!This book confirms a lot of what I've come to believe and also provides awesome insight into things that I didn't fully understand. I think everyone, Christian or not, should read this book to get a better understanding of what following Jesus is all about! |
