Erika Mathews's Reviews > Letters to the Church

This is an excellent book. I think every believer should read and prayerfully consider this book with Scripture. (It also helped that this was an excellent point in my life to read this book, but I would have had the same opinion no matter when I read it. :))

If you were born and lived on a deserted island and all you knew about church was what the Bible says, what would your view of church look like? This book addresses some of this question. Stripped of culture and tradition, what does Biblical church look like? This book isn’t saying structure is wrong by any means, but rather it encourages readers to look to God and His Word and ask Him to remove biases we have that we might not even be aware of. Are our customs actually hindering what God wants to do in some cases? Are they providing an environment that says something completely different from what our statement of faith says?

Highly recommend this book.
