Dear Church...


I just finished reading Dear Church: Letters from a Disillusioned Generation by Sarah Cunningham. "No matter if you are young or old, pastor or church leader, Christian or someone who avoids the church altogether, this series of grippingly honest letters will give voice to your questions for the church. Dear Church will take you on a journey to look disillusionment in the eye, to reexamine the church and your own heart, and to sift through your frustration to find a renewed peace and commitment to Christ's mission."

This brutally honest book is certainly worth the time it takes to read it. Despite the church's mistakes, Cunningham helps us to realize that there is still promise of a greater hope. It would be wise for every pastor and church leader to read this book. It would certainly help them to bridge the gap with the younger generation, which seems so disconnected from church as we know it.
