Excellent book written by two excellent authors. Incredible men who have backed their words by their actions.
It's a challenging read but is also laid out very well in a dialogue format; it's like you're in the same room while they're talking through the questions and answers.
I appreciate the theological and practical balances of the book. As Campolo says, "The Gospels provide us a prescription for a kingdom lifestyle, and the other books of the New Testament provide us with a solid theology. Red Letter Christians need both. (p.9)"
131 - Love Does
This is one of those books you have to read slowly to really absorb all the great thoughts in it. Goff does an excellent job of making that possible by using short chapters that can easily be consumed in one sitting. Without ever getting into doctrinal debates Goff tackles what it means to really live like Jesus. This book will inspire you to live differently.
130 - Why Church Matters
In a culture that loves Jesus but hates the church this book is desperately needed. Needed because someone has to defend the bride of Christ. Harris does an excellent job of pointing to the church not as an institution, but rather a group of believers. He takes this classic thought, and puts some new modern spin on it making it a great book for young and old believers alike. He addresses our need for the church, why it helps us grow spiritually in ways we can't on our own, and points us back to the community of faith, rather than the individualistic beliefs of many in our culture.
