Editorial Review:

Product Description:
What would you do if you met someone you thought just might be one of Jesus original disciples still living in the 21st Century? 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!




Rating: - Puts words to my feelings
This book was a breath of fresh air. My husband and I left our last church for a number of reasons (some our own misunderstandings, and some valid). However, we sometimes get lonely so decide to go to church for fellowship only to be sorely disappointed every time. I have had numerous relatives voice their concerns that we typically don't go to church anymore, they can't see what see. While the book certainly isn't an anti-church going book, it does show some major flaws with most modern churches ... Read More

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.

Rating: - A must read
I 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: - Amazing
Not 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 reading
The 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.
