5.0 out of 5 stars Helps you to be a church member too., Dec 21 2004
I have been looking for "Intimacy", in churches and small groups, and I am always disappointed when I don't find it. This book helped me to understand why this is not likely to happen, and is not even a desirable goal. (It clarified what Intimacy actually is)

This book lays out a framework for finding relatedness on all levels. After reading this book I am better equipped to actually find what I am looking for. Definitely a "keeper".

5.0 out of 5 stars ::: out of the box honesty ! :::, Jul 9 2004
By "dwrobinson" (Beaver Falls, PA United States) - See all my reviews
(...). . . this book really did help me navigate how people connect in community, he specifically drills into the aspects of community as a public space, a social space, a personal space and as an intimate space. and he points out that each has different strengths and he doesn't suck you into the 'intimate space is the best and other spaces are subordinate' logic which was really refreshing!

. . . myers comments helped deconstruct the real nuances of christian community . . . we have all been to more small group seminars, labs, and evening training sessions at church than we care to admit and we have consistently heard that the right small group programs will grow the church, create discipled Christ followers, and return us to nt model of chrn'ity, yet statically the most 'successful' small group churches in america only experience about a 30% penetration rate . . . why is that if this is as good as it is promised? we wouldn't have to 'advertise and push people into groups they would run to them . . . PEOPLE NATURALLY CRAVE COMMUNITY BUT ON THEIR TERMS NOT OURS . . . the bottom line is that people can feel a substantial level of belonging to a church on many different levels and not be in a small group, he is really on to something in the chapter that talks about the american culture's push off from the "front porch" and the churches need to find neutral ground (like starbucks has) to interact with others in the in-between space of social and neighborly friendships something in between out in public space, but also not in my home because that is often too intimate.
this whole idea of how people belong is talented thought . . . this book quickly became a member of my top 10 favorite books . . . do yourself the favor buy the book!!

5.0 out of 5 stars good for questions, April 14 2004
By A Customer
This book asks a lot of great questions with a lot of keen insight and research into why we have the problems we do with small groups. His thesis on levels of belonging is pretty brilliant, and there are other just really helpful cultural insights into how Americans work in their relationships. It does not have answers, models, or solutions, though. For those seriously wanting to rethink what we've done thus far and creatively and innovatively contribute to something more, check this book out.
