Church Like That
“Don grew up in a non-practicing Catholic home, watched his father convert to a Seventh-Day Adventist tradition, but only remembers the types of meat he couldn’t eat. His wife hates the idea of God, and Don’s already expressed his love of God but his disdain for organized church. Since he seemed open to talk, I lobbed up this question: ‘If Christianity was only about finding a group of people to live life with, who shared openly their search for God and allowed anyone, regardless of behavior, to seek too, and who collectively lived by faith to make the world a little more like Heaven, would you be interested?’
‘Hell yes!’ was his reply. He continued. ‘Are there churches like that?’”

Hell yes indeed.
This book challenged me deeply on my perceptions of what church actually is and should be. I really enjoyed it – glad to see you have began reading it.
That is awesome.
Would the seventh-day adventists come to our saturday services?
