A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual Community by John Pavlovitz
Did not finish book.
DNF’d @ 37%.
why the 4 star rating then?
this book has a specific time and place. I’m just not in the place to read it right now. I bought this because I was really interested in exploring Christianity as a young adult and I just really am not the type of person to read memoir/nonfiction type of books. Same kind of thing happened with Dr. Willie Parker’s book.
I love John Pavlovitz of it is kind of philosophy of faith in Christianity. I love how he is this “all people“ pastor and he’s just so inspiring to follow on social media and social media is the main reason I even picked up this book but I just really cannot get into it and you can tell that he really is not a writer him he’s just a brilliant person who has a lot of great things to say but my problem is when somebody is not a writer I genuinely cannot read a book and enjoy it. I can tell when somebody is not a natural writer and when they are just writing something because of fame or because they have a story to tell, but they’re not a storyteller.
So, 4 stars for the content, 0 stars (+ DNF’d for the actual writing)
