Finding Church

What If There Really Is Something More?

De: Wayne Jacobsen

Narrado por: Wayne Jacobsen

If, like many other people, you have questioned whether there is something more to Jesus church than the religious institutions we've inherited after two thousand years, you'll want to read Finding Church. Here is straight talk from a man who has sought authentic New Testament community for more than fifty years and who has discovered it in the most unlikely places. Now Wayne wants to help you find this incredible bride Jesus is shaping by looking at the church as God sees her and by recognizing her as she takes shape around you. His church is a living temple, springing up in the individual heart and then knit into a worldwide community of people whose very relationships put God s glory on display. There s no way human effort can build it or sustain it, which is why our attempts fall so woefully short. She is the fruit of a new creation of men and women who live beyond the human conventions of society and share a life in Jesus that satisfies their most ardent hunger.

Amazing! This Book Says What I’ve Been Feeling!

If you’ve been wondering if there is more to Jesus’ plan than sitting in a pew once a week, you should check out this book. The author has gone through a journey of discovery and encourages us to do the same.

If the very thought that religion is not the best we can do offends you, then maybe this book is not for you.

I recommend it very highly and I hope you’ll give it a chance.

Wow !!

We are the Church !! Hear this Saints !! This is really good news ! I think a lot of people will recognize aspects of what the author is pointing to as already happening in and to them and this book will confirm what God has been speaking to us and help us see ideas and practices that are restricting are fellowship and unity in Him our Lord.

Something's to consider

Make sure you are seeking God and His guidance in your decisions. He will guide you.

Wayne Shares From His Heart How We Can Find Church

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to find a healthy church family without all of the extra religious baggage!

Who was your favorite character and why?

The "characters" in this "story" are everyone as they learn to live in a real relationship with Jesus Christ in learning how to find Church in relationships based on love, not in institutions based on religious performance and obligation.

What about Wayne Jacobsen’s performance did you like?

Listening to Wayne read this book feels like sitting down with him and listening to him share from his heart what he's learned on his own journey.

Any additional comments?

After spending most of my life going to church and learning how to do church with all of the various methods and models, hearing from Wayne is like a breath of fresh air and very freeing in helping me to understand how we can all find Church through real relationships based on mutual love for Jesus Christ and one another.

NOT ABOUT "CHURCH-BASHING

Would you listen to Finding Church again? Why?

Yes, and I am! I even ordered a hard copy of the book so I could find Wayne's insights and highlight them but I soon found my highlighter running dry! I especially appreciate that he doesn't "bash" the church or religion. This author presents ideas for you to consider -- leaving you to make your own decisions about his findings.

What other book might you compare Finding Church to and why?

So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore

Which character – as performed by Wayne Jacobsen – was your favorite?

Wayne himself (and John in the book, So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore)

Any additional comments?

Church-goers, please don't let the titles keep you from reading. These books are NOT about "church bashing." Quite the contrary!

Life Changing

They say there are (2) things that can change a person's life, the people they meet or the books they read. Through Wayne Jacobsen's testimony, teaching, and narration, I have had an encounter, and I suspect will bring noticable change, I will expect my life in Jesus and His glorious body, the church, to take on a new dimension, a new peace, a new power, a new creation.

Searching for a city whose builder is God

Having spent over thirty years in professional ministry I have been both victim and perpetrator of many scenarios painted in this book. I’ve recently retired and enjoying the freedom from institutional Christianity. I appreciate Wayne’s perspective. It’s not mean spirited as some may think. Nor is he a heretic. Like Abraham and many others including myself we are looking for a city ( church) whose builder is God. Don’t give up. The kingdom of God is all around you.

exceptional book on the church

I have been blessed by Wayne's writings for over 10 years being challenged by his wisdom. This amazing book brings more of the same. Getting clear on the church and understanding it is Jesus' job and responsibility to build what He wants to build is liberating. It looses us to believe and draw deeper into his heart.

on the performance, I always like to hear the author read their own book. This was professionally done and made for easy listening.

Christ’s Bride

Wayne brings the reality of the Christ’s Church (bride) to life, in a way that man’s “church” cannot replicate.

Wow!!!

This was an excellent book with so many “Ah-ha” moments for me. It really opened my eyes to the importance of seeking relationships within the church (God’s people).
