I feel a tremor beneath my feet. Andy Stanley's book "Deep and Wide" is shaking me up.
Do I agree with everything in it? No. But what I do agree with is changing me. The purpose of the book is to convince us we should be striving to create churches unchurched people love to attend.
I can't shake his opening premise. Sinners loved hanging out with Jesus. They should thus enjoy hanging out with the Church, His current body on Earth. I'm having trouble breaking free from that thought.
I'm reading every word on every page. It's making me wish I could meet its author. Maybe someday. I hope the book has made me a more effective Pastor.
