330			_aMost of us assume that, having decided to follow Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we will find ourselves in a spiritual community of like-minded friends, a family of brothers and sisters, enjoying one another's companionship on our way to glory. More often than not we are disappointed. Dr. Crabb addresses this universal failure of the church head-on and leads us toward a profound new vision of what the church can be - indeed was meant to be. Rather than a place for people to display their goodness and hide their failures in fear of censure, the chuch should be open, supportive, and compassionate in dealing with our weaknesses.
