Critics Review
Brian Stiltner knows that the Christian faith is inherently communal: Jesus Christ saves us as a group. After carefully studying six diverse, vital congregations, Brian has written a compelling, research-driven, wise book for pastors and church leaders. He vividly shows how churches can be gifts of God to a culture suffering from great fragmentation, division, and vast loneliness. Here’s a practical, encouraging book that’s matters right now for those who are called to lead the church into the future – Will Willimon * Professor of the Practice of Christian Ministry, Duke Divinity School, United Methodist Bishop, retired, author of The Church We Carry: Loss, Leadership, and the Future of Our Church *
