Church: Why Bother?: My Personal Pilgrimage Audiobook

" Good quick read, that I was able to pull a few nuggets out of. "

" This was added encouragement for me who really got frustrated with the church we were attending. I really am glad we moved on and I am also becoming a Philip Yancey reader. "

" I tripped upon this book "accidentally and it really drew me to focus on the essentials of church and why it is worth the bother, almost no matter what. "

" Not bad, however not as good as the other Philip Yancey books I have read. "

" so far quite impressed. i skim anything that isn't for me. everything else is inspiring. "

" Great read for anyone wondering why church is important/worth it and a good reminder for those who attend about what the point is "

" This book kind of tells Philip Yancey's experience in his disfuntional church as a child. It dealt with many issues about disfuntional churches and gave some positives for church. "

" As a reader who goes to church habitually, I was happy for the insight Mr. Yancey provides regarding how congregational worship supports individual worship, and how the congregational community opens doors for individual progression. A short but fulfilling read. "

" Lighter than most of Yancey's work, but well worth reading nonetheless. He talks about 'church' as the Christian community, undoubtedly with problems, but - he concludes - it's worth persevering. Anecdotes, Scripturally based explanations, and general encouragement. Recommended. "

" Loved it! Quick but thoughtful read. A re-reader! (Few are!) "

" Every time I ask myself this question (I've probably asked it three times in the eight years I've been walking with Jesus), I come to this book and remember why I do bother. "

" Easy to read book. Some good thoughts. I read this in Finnish. "

" This book was not as impactful as I was hoping. However, as always, I enjoyed Philip Yancey's thoughts and all of the anecdotes from his life. "

" I read this book during a time when I was taking a sabbatical from church. Yancey himself has had doubts about whether or not church was worth it (thus the title), but makes the argument that ultimately it is worth it. I have since disagreed, but still think he makes good points in the book. "

" A simple yet elegantly written book which manages to put forward its arguments without trying too hard. "

" This book shares some very important truths about the value of worship. It is very misunderstood gift of God. "

" This was added encouragement for me who really got frustrated with the church we were attending. I really am glad we moved on and I am also becoming a Philip Yancey reader. "
