Book Review: Let's Get Together

My best friend from high school has authored his first book, and it's a good one. In the first five chapters of this quick read, Gabe Lett has articulated well the problem with community in the church. The final five chapters are principled solutions to the problem of why we don't live together as God has called us to. While the book is grounded in scripture and ideas, Lett offers practical solutions as well. When I was leading a small group in Kansas City, we read Life Together by Bonhoeffer. Some friends in the group found it difficult to wade through. Here is an alternative (in modern language with up to date ideas) that seriously adresses similar issues (but in the American Church context). In my opinion, this is a GREAT read for any person in the church who wonders why "connecting" and "belonging" have been elusive in their quest for Christ. More importantly, this book offers hope that it is still possible.
