Find Your People: Building Deep Community in a Lonely World

I enjoy Jennie Allen's books, but the issue I have, is that most of her books are written from personal experiences and so, they feel a bit repetitive at times if you know her story.

I don't know if I loved this one. I think, like most people, I crave deep community and connection. However, this books seems to overly simplify how to build a solid group of people. It assumes you already have a good church and maybe already have friends that you could improve a relationship with. Yes, there are some good tips scattered throughout, but an Instagram post could have shared those points much quicker than it takes to finish this book.

It felt like a 30-minute talk on the topic would be a better fit than a whole book. I finished it off feeling like it missed the mark a bit. Maybe I'm not in the right headspace to read it right now or maybe I'm burnt out on Christian living topics but I just don't think this one is her best.

I received an early copy of this book from Netgalley. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own, and I am writing a voluntary review.
