Wonderful book

This book is full of insight and has helped me a lot. Many of the thoughts are not original or new (there is nothing new under the sun) but have been put together in a way that just gels for me. I have heard and read these things many times, but now they have sunk in, and make sense, finally. Excellent writing. Starts with crucial foundations of accepting God's love and progressively builds from there. Can't say enough good about this book. Will read it over and over again.

Authentic relationships

This is more than a book-it is (hopefully) a way of life, one that I am certainly desiring. Our Pastor has agreed to use this material as a basis to begin our home fellowship groups which is exciting to me. The subjects have been well thought out and applied and it is part of "the progression" of our christian walk that is a necessary ingredient.

Authentic Relationships: Discover the Lost Art of One Anothering

This is one of the best books on relationship development from a biblical point of view. Very practical and simple; not another list of "to dos." Our small group is loving this book.

Indispensable resource

This is the best book that I have read detailing what relationships should look like in the church. Using examples from their own experiences and Christ, The Jacobsen brothers cleverly and thoroughly go through 22 verses in the Epistles that focus on the concept of "one anothering". The chapters are masterfully ordered to display the progression of relationship building. The first section starts with one's relationship with God. The next progression is the genesis of a truly authentic relationship. The authors follow this portion with a section called, 'Sharing the Journey'. As the title states, this portion of the book details relationships within an authentic community. The final chapters deal with what happens with true spiritually linked relationships deepen. If this was not enough, the end of each chapter lists discussion questions that really allow you to search your heart and challenge the authenticity of your relationship with God and others. I have found the Jacobsen brothers to have true spiritual insight concerning what it means to walk the Christian journey in community with God and one another. Currently, I am involved with a fellowship of young adult believers who wish to reach out to our surrounding community and friends. I am going to purchase a few more copies and use it as a mid week study tool. I would advise you to purchase this book, prayerfully read it and allow God to show you how your relationships with people can become deeper!

Excellent Resource For Growing Christians

Wonderful Book. Highly recommended reading for anyone interested in taking a closer look at how they and others deal with real community among believers. The author encourages believers to greater depths of fellowship as a people characterized by "one-anothering." In this book Jacobson explores practical ways to encourage that community as well as takes a look at where we are now. This is an encouragement to read. The material is easy to follow for new or seasoned believers. I find myself referring back to the book in sermon preparation regularly. Pick it up!
