True Depth: Moving Beyond Cultural Christianity
When out of your spiritual depths, don't go for the shallows.Many of us sincerely wade around in what church culture popularly defines as discipleship. But we are discontent with only splashing about in the miles-wide, ankle-deep shores of faith.If we look to the horizon of history, of the Gospels and the early church, we can see wonderful mystery out there. We sense there must be more to spiritual formation than mere performance, study, and the gaining of knowledge. As true disciples, we yearn for a far more meaningful truth.Author Lenny Luchetti reaches out through these pages, beckoning us to join him in following Christ into deep realms of transformation—of revelation, restoration, transformation, sanctification, and mission. It can seem scary, diving in and being submersed in what Christ means discipleship to be. But it's exactly in this place—out of our own depths—that we can find true depth in Christ.

This is definitely a message for Christians today. As the subtitle suggests, Christians have become comfortable with a style of Christianity they have defined for themselves. Luchetti calls it churchianity. Many Christians are doing the right things as long as it does not take them out of their box. Jesus calls all believers to follow him. That usually requires us to be like Peter--step out of the boat to walk on water.
I am guessing this book is a transcribed version of a series of messages Luchetti delivered at his church. The repetitious phrasing becomes a source of mild irritation to the reader, but would have had (I am sure) greater positive impact on those hearing the message. To potential readers I say recognize the repetition as the writer's emphasis of important points and get over the discomfort. The total message should be required reading for all believers. As the old saying goes, dynamite comes in small packages. This book is a short 125 pages, but it carries a powerful punch.
