Arsenal Note: We found this book to be very challenging, but well worth the time to read and ponder the thoughts within. We highly recommend this book because it will challenge you to think outside of the box.

When God calls us to establish a Christian community, it is a call to the cross, to humiliation and suffering. We are called to live closely and intensively with other believers on a daily basis in which our defects, our shortcomings and our failures will be revealed. Out of the agonies and the joys, we give opportunity for a reality to come forth that can best be described as true fellowship.
