How the Body of Christ Talks: Recovering the Practice of Conversation in the Church

C. Christopher Smith

In an age of technological distraction and rampant individualism, Chris Smith notes that we have lost the vital art of conversation. Smith argues that just as the different parts of a healthy human body communicate well for the flourishing of the whole, so must the members of the body of Christ learn to talk together, listen carefully to one another and have healthy conversations in order to promote the flourishing of all, foster a sense of belonging, and ultimately bear witness to the loving character of God. Beginning with the theological foundations of conversation, Smith goes on to provide practical guidance, helpful insights and wise counsel for churches who wish to develop the practice of conversation. Anyone who reads this book cannot help but be challenged by its inspiring, thought-provoking content.
