Giving Church Another Chance: Finding New Meaning in Spiritual Practices
Todd D. Hunter
InterVarsity Press, 2010, 176 pp., $18.00
I can describe this book in one word: refreshing. This book makes us take a real look at how we practice our faith. In each chapter, Todd calls us to a re-practicing of spiritual disciplines. He passionately drives home the point that these are not disciplines we practice “at” church but disciplines “we the church” should practice in daily life.
Chapters on quiet, communion and the offering are gentle guides to help the religiously burnt-out find a spiritual rebirth. At the end of the book there is a generous amount of group exercises inviting the reader to invite others to join the journey. Todd gives a gift that validates the hope of every believer searching for a deeper faith. Giving Church Another Chance gives us all another chance to experience church from the inside out.
