No Perfect People Allowed

Creating a Come-As-You-Are Culture in the Church

By: John Burke

Narrated by: Tom Casaletto

How do we live out the message of Jesus in today’s ever-changing culture?

The church is facing its greatest challenge—and its greatest opportunity—in our postmodern, post-Christian world. God is drawing thousands of spiritually curious “imperfect people” to become his church—but how are we doing at welcoming them?

No Perfect People Allowed shows you how to deconstruct the five main barriers standing between emerging generations and your church by creating the right culture. From inspiring stories of real people once far from God, to practical ideas that can be applied by any local church, this book offers a refreshing vision of the potential and power of the Body of Christ to transform lives today.

Who is perfect?

I thought I was perfect until I hit my 20s. I’m glad that the church is willing and needs to accept us un-perfect people. Like apostle Paul, I too am chief of all sinners. Thank you LORD for your unconditional LOVE!! This book helps me understand un-perfect people.

Day to Day mood tolerance possibly

Sadly, After listening to Mud and The Masterpiece read by author, John Burke, I kept trying & praying I could get past the readers voice & voice changes for people mentioned throughout book. :(

Taking church to the people

The author has done a good job evaluating where the church should be. It must adapt with culture and meet the people where they are at. Jesus worked with the people in just the same way. Churches have got to lay down their tribe banner and instead of trying to get the people to come to their church they must take the church to the people. Meet them where they are at.

Mostly Perfection

Even though this book is almost a decade old, I feel it is still on point with so many hot button issues. The stories shares were relatable and real. Only a few times did I find myself disagreeing, but I never felt like I had to stop reading.

How I should view the church and people!

Loved this book! Definitely brings you back to the real meaning of the church and being a Christian!
