EDITOR’S CHOICE
Insightful, thought-provoking, and empowering, Beyond Sundays challenges traditional boundaries, encouraging unity, authentic relationships, and spiritual growth beyond organised religion.
Wayne Jacobsen’s Beyond Sundays is a thought-provoking exploration of a growing trend within modern Christianity—the departure of individuals from traditional congregational settings while still maintaining a devotion to Jesus and seeking authentic spiritual community. Drawing from his blog posts and conversations with people across the globe, Jacobsen tackles the phenomenon of “The Dones” with both insight and empathy, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to follow Jesus outside the confines of organised religion.
The book raises compelling questions about the relevance of conventional church structures and provides an open and honest discussion about how God’s work might flourish beyond these traditional frameworks. Jacobsen’s writing is accessible and heartfelt, inviting readers to embrace a new perspective that prioritises genuine relationships and unity over conformity and institutionalism.
What stands out most is the book’s balance—it neither criticises existing church practices harshly nor idealises life outside them. Instead, it presents a hopeful and inclusive vision for the future of God’s family, encouraging readers to consider how love and transformation can transcend organisational boundaries.
Whether you’re currently active in a church or grappling with your place in organised religion, Beyond Sundays delivers a timely and engaging message that will resonate deeply with those seeking a more personal and meaningful spiritual journey.
