Summary: Don't read this book if you don't want your life to change!
Comment: A book about spiritual community. The most honest and helpful book I've ever read. Crabb's fresh but thoroughly Biblical metaphor of the upper and lower room (the spirit and the flesh) has changed my life more than any other truth I have ever learned--ever. Crabb's vision for the church to be the safest place on earth has given me new hope and vision for what the church could be.

Summary: Crabb's book gave new hope after a bad church experience
Comment: For those of us who are unable to hide our sin and pain behind smiles, Crabb proposes a startling "new" model: a spiritual community that offers a higher level of acceptance and love, and a chance develop stronger, healthier passions to replace the sinful passions of our old nature. Underlying his message is the belief that we can't really change our sin nature-- all we can do is let Christ's love and the support of truly, non-judgementmal friends help us replace the bad with the good. This book challenges modern counseling in some ways-- but maybe it should be challenged. The author admits to idealism in his proposal of a spiritual community that gives us a place to be real... but it is an idealism toward which we must reach. For anyone frustrated with "churchianity" and desirous of true Christian community, this book is amazingly thought provoking.
Rating: 4
Summary: Very refreshing!
Comment: The author writes well and honestly and I would recommend this book. He doesn't gloss over the problems existing in the church but acknowledges they are there in a candid and refreshing way. However, I differ on this one important point, he says and I paraphrase,"Do we ever arrive at a place when we can say we are spiritually mature, and is it important?". It is an honest and good question, however, Paul the apostle was constantly admonishing disciples to move on to spiritual maturity so as not to remain babes in Christ. The writer of Proverbs understood the necessity for gaining spiritual maturity which he called 'wisdom'; "therefore, in all your getting, get wisdom".
