About this audiobook
What does a community that testifies to God's power look like?
God’s people are called to a togetherness and commitment that transcends all natural boundaries―whether ethnic, generational, or economic. But such a community can be enjoyed only when it relies on the power of God in the gospel.
In The Compelling Community, pastors Mark Dever and Jamie Dunlop cast a captivating vision for authentic fellowship in the local church that goes beyond small groups. Full of biblical principles and practical advice, this book will help pastors lead their congregations toward the kind of community that glorifies God, edifies his people, and attracts the lost.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5It has potentially. A great topic. Ruined by wokeness and white guilt finger pointing.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Good book for those seeking ideas on how to change the culture of there church. More for existing leaders in the church but lay members can benefit especially if their leadership is seeking to implement some of the ideas or strategies in this book.
