No Perfect People Allowed: Creating a Come-As-You-Are Culture in the Church Audiobook

" This book greatly influenced the way I think about church. I don't endorse everything in this book, but it was certainly helpful in informing me, and raising hard questions to think through, in regards to the church. "

" this book has great stories about life changing relationships. it is a good look at how christianity should act. "

" Honestly, I did a "quick read" of this book. We were reading it for a book club of sorts so I had to power through it. It was pretty good, and the guy had some interesting stories, but I feel like the book could have been half the length and still communicated exactly what the author set out to say. "

" If this is not the best book I've read, it's in the top three. EVERY church leader needs to read this book. I've read it twice. "

" If you want to live and do ministry missionally, this book will blow your mind! Burke helped open my eyes to the changing culture we live and gave definition to the people God has called me to be a part in reaching. "

" One of the cornerstone books that helped shape our church plant. If I am asked by church planters what is the one book that I would recommend that they read prior to planting a church, I recommend this one. "

" Jesus came back for sinners willing to humble there self and accept his free gift eternal life. This book is abought Gods perfect work in imperfect people and how the church should accept everyone as Christ would!We are all sinners saved by grace and it is never our place to judge! "

" a book about emergent churches. just an ok read, a little sappy every once in a while. "

" My small group is currently reading this and we meet every week to discuss the chapter. It answers tough questions and really is a true example of how to accept and love others like Jesus loved. "

" This is a great book for all Christ followers to read in learning how to make their faith more real and authentic for others to see what true Christianity is all about. "

" My pastor wrote this book, but I read it before I came to work at Gateway. This is the first book I've read that truly describes what ministry to the post-modern culture looks like when it comes from a church with this as it's DNA, not a church taking on an approach/strategy. INSPIRATIONAL! "

" I rarely don't finish a book- but I didn't finish this one. The point was that it doesn't matter what we say-- if we don't show people the love of Christ, it won't matter. I'm not sure the book needed so many stories and chapters to get this point across. "

" One of my favorites! Such a great picture of what the church should look like. "

" Not as well written as I might like but a great story of how a congregation can be accepting and loving to the point of drawing people in and loving them into change, not requiring them to change in order to feel comfortable. "

" Bought the book after I heard John Burke speak. Great insight into how to talk with hurting people. "

" This book challenged me, convicted me and sometimes did not sit well with me but it definitely made me think about things in a different way. A great read for anyone who was raised in a legalistic background. "

" Great read for those in church leadership today. Have a bit of a biased opinion since I've been at Gateway Church since it's really early days. "
