Real Church Book Review

I have read many books by Larry Crabb. My favorite of his being Inside Out. So I had very high expectations for “Real Church: Is It Out There, Can I find It” as I also have experienced many frustrations with the Western church I currently serve in. I feel like we have gone soft and have chosen to install cafe and book stores in our churches instead of going into the world and being in the world, but not of it. I know I totally just scripture dropped, sorry.
Real Church begins with Crabb expresses what he believes t be the problems in the church today. How we are not really serving anyone but ourselves. As you continue to read though; you realize that some of these things you have also been completely frustrated with, or have in some part unconsciously taken part in the patterns and routines that are creating a distanced Western Church. 150 In the rest of the book, Crabb begins to unravel some of his great insight into the ways we as a church can better serve the globe, our communities, and our congregants. Most importantly, I think it is important that we all take our part in being the Real Church. WE are the Real Church, and we must strive to continue to advance the name of Christ in the Real manner.
