What is authentic spiritual community? In this groundbreaking book, Larry Crabb presents an inspiring vision of what church or community, as well as every marriage, family, and small group, could truly be: a genuine spiritual community, a place where perfection is not expected, but where people journey together towards God. In today's fast-paced society, it is difficult for people to develop close friendships. They spend their lives largely disconnected from others, content with brief encounters and superficial conversations. This is also reflected in Christian communities. But what if we were to build a community of people who accept one another unconditionally and encourage each other in their strengths?.
