I would give this book 1.5 stars. I read this book before when I first started taking my faith seriously and was consistent on my journey. I recall enjoying it then. However, it didn't have the same impact the second time.
I still took notes of some quotes that were good and I want to revisit. Here they are:
"You can be committed to church but not committed to Christ, but you cannot be committed to Christ and not committed to church" - Joel Osteen
"The Church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the Church"
"Becoming a Christian and being a Christian are both an instantaneous event and a progressive process"

I use this book when a new Christian comes to me and says “What do I do now?” or the person who is struggling and says “What were we made for? The simplicity but depth of this 96 page book was so valuable in my search to growing roots in my new found Christianity.
In the introduction there is a quote by Martin Luther King Jr that says, “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.
