Publisher's summary

Are you one of the millions who crave a new direction in the church, fed up with religious games, empty promises, and cultural Christianity? You are not alone. You are not crazy. Maybe Jesus is ready to interrupt your life. Snatching Jen Hatmaker from the grip of her consumer life, God began asking her questions like, "What is really the point of My Church? What have I really asked of you?" Transparent and imperfect, Jen will engage and inspire you to go beyond comfortable and answer for yourself the question she faced: Is there more to faith than just safe and sequestered, predictable and boring?

So GOOD!

A book every person claiming to be a Christian should read. The author's witty sense of humor & ability to "go deep" on the core of the Christian faith keep this weighty discussion balanced & palatable.

Breathtaking!

The story is true to its title and it's do e the job of interrupting my path. Thank you for your honesty and continued journey to discover the missional living Jesus asks of all of us. I look forward to stumbling through my journey as well.

If you're ready to be interrupted too...

Then this book is for you. It is the story of one family's encounter with Scripture, people in the margins, with the essence of faith, and with church.
Hatmaker writes in a personal, revelatory way without invoking tricks of guilt, Scripture-twisting or "social gospelese." Readers will learn the difference between *being* the Good News and *knowing* it, between the Gospel in its fullness and the Gospel of the American church, between a heart that loves the poor and one that enables, neglects, belittles or ignores.

Her writing is clever, quick to the point, sharp and warm. My husband listened with me, and he appreciated Brandon Hatmaker's interjections. We both greatly valued her suggested reading lists, and our Audible Wish List has grown immensely since beginning this "Interrupted" journey together.

Wow. I kept telling people this book is WRECKING me. I can’t count the times I said “Yes” I was listening to Jen’s words about The Church. God keeps whispering “People are my church” and this book echoed that the whole way through. Loved it.

Life Changing Insights

I loved this book! This was my second Jen Hatmaker book (I'm late to the party) and it blew me away. Makes me rethink "church" and living on mission. It's challenging, and very honest. I frequently went to the actual book to highlight things to come back to. So good.

I've found I don't LOVE Jen's narration - but she's growing on me - so the fact that someone else narrated was a plus for me.

I adore this author!!!! Amazing book.

Jen Hatmaker walks the walk when it comes to "What would Jesus do? Such a refreshing take on being Christian for people who feel stagnant in their faith...and more importantly for people who feel comfortable in their faith. Thank you for this amazing book, Jen! I laughed as often as I said "Yes! A
men!" And I will never consume banana halves in quite the same reckless way!

Fabulous author!

Jen Hatmaker makes me want to be a better Christian. Her down to earth way of reaching people and communities is amazing. It makes so much more sense than just regular uptight churches, some of which have made me feel quite unwelcome. And the idea of so much caring and missional work right in your own communities is amazing!

I didn't want to be challenged...

I just listened to this because my wife was reading it. Instead I found myself being challenged. That wasn't the plan. My wife and I are chewing on and being challenged by this
