The Church of Me was a great daily read. With built-in reading and reflection sections, it was both easy to follow and deeply soul-challenging. Ryan does an excellent job diving into the reality of the state of the Church today, asking hard questions while providing honest, real-world examples that make the message relatable and impactful.

One of the strongest parts of the book is that it doesn’t just point out problems or leave the reader with open-ended thoughts. Instead, it offers practical, meaningful solutions for both pastors and everyday church members on how we can shift the focus of our churches back where it belongs…on God.

The Church of Me is a challenging and thought-provoking read that asks an important question every believer should wrestle with: Has our faith become more about us than about Jesus?

Ryan Ford doesn't write to condemn the Church, he writes out of a genuine love for it. Throughout the book, he examines modern trends in Christianity, from consumer-driven worship to the pursuit of comfort over conviction, while continually pointing readers back to Scripture and the heart of the Gospel.

What I appreciated most was the balance. While the book raises difficult topics, it never leaves the reader without hope. Each chapter ends with reflection questions, Bible passages and practical study prompts that encourage personal application rather than simply criticizing the current state of the Church.

Whether you agree with every point or not, this book invites meaningful self-examination. It challenged me to evaluate my own motives in worship, prayer, discipleship, and daily faith. That's a conversation worth having.

If you're looking for a book that encourages deeper discipleship, a renewed reverence for God, and a Christ-centered perspective in a culture that often promotes self, The Church of Me is well worth reading.
