One of the things that commends this collection is its catholicity, and the stature of those whose writings are included. To listen to those who have lived community across the centuries is to drink at a deep well of wisdom. This is not just the latest new monastics thinking or the latest offerings from the Emergent Church. The call to community is challenging, and yet the recognition of the real challenges of community both tempers naive enthusiasm and offers wise counsel to those who pursue intentional communities out of faithfulness to Christ." InterVarsity Emerging Scholars Network "A 2016 Englewood Honor Book one of the thirty best books of the year for the life and flourishing of the church." Englewood Review of Books "This is one meaty, yet very accessible, book for those who love the Church enough to give it some serious thought, knowing that serious thought can lead to serious action. Whether in small groups or individually, as we read Called to Community, we will be hearing voices from the road, people with trail dust on their faith. They know what theyre talking about. And this invitation to come alongside them is a great place to start finding some new roads in an old faith of our own." David Swartz, Patheos "This is a stellar contribution to our understanding of the whys and wherefores of Christian community. The 52 selections seem perfect for a year of weekly group study and the detailed discussion guide in the appendix is particularly useful for this purpose. Called to Community: The Life Jesus Wants for His People is a thoughtfully compiled and well edited guide to the subject." Nancy Roberts, Catholic Sentinel "This book is both informative and practicalwritten with a short chapter for each week of the year. Designed to spark conversation within a group devotion setting, readers can dive deep into community together. This book delves into the nitty-gritty details of Christian community living and encourages readers to confront the dissatisfaction stirred up by its challenging pages. Though not a light text by any means, this book is ideal for those seeking to approach Christian community more intentionally and comprehensively." Evangelical Church Library Association
