Better Than This is a courageous, heartfelt, and deeply convicting guide for churches striving to become what Christ truly intended safe, nurturing, and fearless communities. Through personal stories and honest reflections, the author shines a light on the painful reality of toxic behavior within faith spaces while offering hope and practical wisdom for transformation.

Some great stories to illustrate ideas and issues. No doubt, it was written with much heart and personality. The author brings up some interesting question-creating points. I found the book to be lacking a consistent flow.
You might not agree with everything, but I challenge you to give it a go.
