A Bigger Table: Building Messy, Authentic, and Hopeful Spiritual Community by John Pavlovitz

4.0

Definitely the book I needed at this time. It’s so refreshing to read books by Pastors who have faced the same doubts and come to similar conclusions. Who aren’t afraid of the critics. It’s been a long, spiritually exhausting slog to get here, to return to a prayer life at all. I think that aspect of the book was more resonating than anything he said about building a bigger table, I don’t need to be convinced on that. Though I do wish he ventured into how we deal with racist, sexist, bigoted people from a position of love more than he did. It’s one thing to welcome them to the table, too, it’s another to let them spew their hate toward the oppressed and vulnerable.
