Why read it?

1 author picked The Abundant Community as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

How do you build a disciple-making culture that is at the center of a culture of consumerism? The struggle is real! In this book, the authors offer keen insights that probe the tenets of capitalism and how that has shaped and continues to influence our community culture.
