Being the Body (Abridged) Audiobook

" This book by Chuck Colson focuses on the implications of the body of Christ and is a great argument against lone gun Christianity. Colson and Vaughn weave together compelling stories with a strong call to the church, which is trademark Colson and which makes his books so readable. "

" I actually read the earlier edition first and then got the newer one. This is a look at the Christian Church and the things we have in common rather than the things that seperate us. "

" I almost always like Chuck Colson. Here he's promoting both holiness and the unity of the church. Excellent. "

" I read it a long while back but remember it being a good book. "

" The church is the body of Christ. I especially liked the stories of Eastern Europe and Christians standing up to communism. The final chapter about a man on death row who comes to know Christ is heartbreakingly beautiful. "

" chock full of good sermon illustrations and anecdotes "

" Published in 1992, it's a little dated (there is a newer version out called "Being the Body") and not without flaws, but this book should serve as a wake-up call to the church. "

" This is a good book but admittedly I didn't finish it. It didn't seem to fit my season appropriately. I did enjoy what I read though. "

" This is my second time through on The Body. The authors are not harbingers of doom, but rather reveal to the Church in America what everyone outside the church sees. This is an encouraging volume with practical direction form becoming what God intended for His Bride. "

" Pretty good book about what the Church is and should be. Lots of real life examples. "

" My personal favorite from Colson. wonderful style, crisp prose. "

" I read this as a memorial to Chuck Colson who went to be with the Lord this year. He was the epitome of someone redeemed by God and transformed into a new person. This book will haunt me and spur me on to live for others--to live outside myself. "
