[Yousseif Abdellatif · Rating 3 out of 5]

Honest reaction to Church Planting from the Ground Up: it's a book that feels like a long, rambling, delightful phone call with the funniest person you know. Tom Jones lets the narrator ramble, backtrack, and interrupt herself, and the story about the time she got stuck in a hotel elevator with a visiting marching band had me wheezing on my couch. After a while the digressions pile up and the actual story gets lost. For readers who like voice over plot. Skip it if rambling makes you impatient.

Look, I opened Church Planting from the Ground Up expecting a nap and got a wake-up call instead. Tom Jones doesn't waste a paragraph, and the short, blunt chapters hit like a cold splash of water. A couple of them feel like warm-ups for the real stuff. Great for people who want the point fast, skip it if you like to wander.
