Uncomfortable: The Awkward and Essential Challenge of Christian Community
Brett McCrackenPaperback 2017-09-30
2018 The Christian Book Award - Winner in the Christian Living category
The "seeker-sensitive" movement has had its moment in evangelicalism - attracting people by being cool, comfortable, and convenient. But what if the church truly thrives only when it embraces the more difficult aspects of Christianity? Uncomfortable makes a compelling case that following Jesus and being in his church are not cool and comfortable, but rather stretching and challenging. Believers who accept the uncomfortable and even awkward aspects of Christianity in the context of the local church - believing difficult truths, embracing sacrifice, pursuing holiness, and loving the people around them - are the ones who will see the church grow most significantly and the gospel advance most powerfully.
