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

4.0

I really needed this dialogue and appreciate the honesty and vulnerability of the author. I have repeatedly be confused, hurt, frustrated, and saddened with so many portions of my experience with Christianity and have found that it’s not a label I desire right now. The idea of a bigger table, one that is authentic, messy, diverse, and truly relational is absolutely what I crave. This book opened my eyes and validated what I’ve been wrestling with. I look forward to continuing to break down barriers and to redefine the lens through which I see others and how I see God.
