Your Church Is Too Safe: Becoming a Church that Turns the World Upside Down Audiobook

" One of my all-time favorites! Very powerful! I wish I could talk with the richness in which Mark Buchanan writes. He cuts through the fat of spirituality and causes one to wonder why they would settle for a relationship with a distant and weak God instead of embracing a passionate life in the arms of a powerful, limitless, and dangerously awesome God. "

" This is going to kick you in the teeth. Good stuff "

" Currently reading this as part of a book study with some coworkers. Very intriguing, sparks lots of good conversation. "

" WOW! It scratched where I itched. Too often I fall into a faith funk. This book calls me away from re-creating God in my image, but to see the true God as He really is. He is not safe or controlled makes no petty promises of A+B will always = C, does not promise a nice comfortable, complacent, consumer christianity, but a real God who can take on real life, in a real way. A MUST READ! I'm onto HOly Wild next.... "

" Learn about serving a God who has more in mind than your comfort and safety. "

" Can you accept and honor a seemingly unpredictable God, who doesn't always give you what you want? Excellent book. "

" Inspirational, motivational, and used by God in my life! "

" Very challenging book and something I needed to read at this stage of my life. Our God is anything but safe!! "

" Love this book. It was one of those that I read and thought, "now this is the God that I know!" "

" Love this book so much! One I want to read again and again. "

" Great book! Challenging...worth a second read. "

" One of my new favorites? His insights into life in the "borderland" are profound, his counsel is simple yet powerful, and his prose is rich and vivid. "

" If you're looking for a book that summarizes the reality of a Christian walk, then this is the go-to book. I don't know that you could read this book and be unmoved if you're being honest with yourself. If you've got you act entirely together, this book will still challenge you. "

" This book is a pretty good overall wide general challenge to your Christian lifestile and how to avoid getting stuck in a faith rut. At the same time the tone is nonjudgemental or threatening and the book is quite easy to follow. "

" God does not fit in our box - he is scary but he is safe (to quote Lewis in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe). This book will refresh stale faith, challenge long-held beliefs and make you think like you've never thought about God and the church whilst never disrespecting both. Read it! "

" This book took me to a new place - challenged my perception of what it means to follow God and how he challenges me to risk it all "

" God used this book to jump-start my heart, and reawaken my love for reading books with substance... "

" Wow. A book challenging our too-safe, too-predictable rut of Christianity. "

" Hands down the best book I've read. It challenges you and it changes you and how you think about religion. "

" Awesome read! I like Buchanan's matter-of-fact speak of how much Christians pigeon-hole God into their own image. The metaphor of "borderland" will always be with me. I absolutely loved this book. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking to re-evaluate their faith. "

" One of my favorites! Great insights. "

" Read it during a time of a spiritual funk and it was fantastic. He writes unlike any other Christian devotional author and that helps a lot. His insights change the way you see things spiritually. "

" Buchanan offers a stirring and wrenching, honest but eloquent call to meet God in the holy wild. You need to read this book. "
