Good quality book with an eye rolling conclusion.

No spoilers in this review, but I found this book quite intriguing up until the climax.
Let me start off with the good things about this book, it was very well made, both in recording quality and with the writing. Some parts of the writing I didn’t quite get, but I blame that on me just being American and not understanding Australian culture. I also felt the characters were well developed, even if slightly cliche.
Now, on to the bad things about this book, mostly being the twists at the end. I like a good twist, but when things start getting crazy to the point where earlier points in the book lose meaning, that’s when I think it becomes too much. I think one good twist would’ve been all this book needed to sustain listeners, not some complicated, unlikely rabbit hole.
Overall, I think this book performs well, and I would suggest it to other readers, it just wouldn’t be my first pick.

Do you feel exhausted by tribalism? You aren't alone. As culture warriors divide the world into us and them—fracturing families, friendships, and churches—most of us long for an end to the constant fighting. But does a practical path exist? Jesus lived in a culture split by tribalism, but he resisted its allure by choosing something bigger: truth. He's now inviting you to apply his ancient path to the modern culture war. How would your community change if you became a catalyst for Christlike unity? Rejecting tribalism is the first step.

A much needed read for anyone.

This book was nothing short of amazing.
Personally, it gave me so many helpful insights and explained in simple words how to handle this countries pandemic of tribalism.
Christian or not, I think this book should be read by the masses.
Now, getting into the technicalities, this book was written very well. Like I said previously, I was not confused or had a hard time understanding parts of this book, anyone could read and understand this book, which is a huge positive when addressing such new issues like this book has done.
A few notes regarding the performance, there was a part in the audiobook near chapter 4, I believe, where the narrator just completely cuts out in the middle of the sentence. Not sure if this is something that could be fixed, but it caused me to lose the point that was being made in that section of the book.
Overall, definitely worth a read, despite some technical issues, the passion, proper information, and faith is there, ultimately bringing so much power to this book and it’s purpose.
