Bonhoeffer presents a challenging, Christ-centered view of Christian community in this concise and challenging work. Some may view certain particulars described by Bonhoeffer as overly specific and dogmatic, but all points are made with a clear eye for the Scriptures and focus on Christ. This is a very good read for today's disciple of Christ, especially with the many competing voices vying for one's attention and allegiance.

Bonhoeffer offers an amazing look into what it means to live in community. I would highly recommend.

The community of belivers is so taken for granted amoung believers today! It is part and parcel with our relationship to Christ. Never neglect it brethren! It is truly a great grace and gift fron God. Grace and Peace

This book will challenge the reader to consider the true biblical meaning of fellowship and its practice in the church. You won't go away without examining your relationship to the body of Christ and its profound purpose. Nuggets of truth.

This is powerful exploration of the nature of biblical community. Written by Bonhoeffer who led an underground seminary in Nazi Germany, this book has the undertones of monastery - but it is still a penetrating analysis on the nature of true community. One thing I especially appreciated was the realism of this book. Bonhoeffer helps us get over the greener-pasture syndrome and actually embrace the believers that God has placed in our lives. As with Bonhoeffer's Cost of Discipleship, this is a modern classic worth the thoughtful reading and reflection of any growing Christian.
