Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“This is a masterfully engaging book that distills the vision of the Christian life into one focused quest: to be God’s favorite place on earth today. I recommend this little volume to all Christians and Christian leaders.” —Mark Batterson, New York Times bestselling author of The Circle Maker
“In Frank Viola’s hands, the story of Lazarus—like Lazarus himself—once again comes to life. In a world where hope is battered and life can so easily beat down the human spirit, we are reminded once more of the possibility of becoming a host of life.” —John Ortberg, pastor and author of Who Is This Man?
“Combining masterful storytelling, historical knowledge, biblical insight, and practical wisdom, Frank artfully uses the Gospels’ depiction of Lazarus and the small town of Bethany to lay out a beautiful and compelling vision of a God who longs to make every human heart and every church ‘his favorite place.’ This is a beautifully written, timely, prophetic work all would benefit from reading!” —Greg Boyd, pastor and author of Benefit of the Doubt
“God’s Favorite Place on Earth realigned my heart toward Jesus and his mysterious, confounding, surprising, beautiful ways. It’s not often I learn something new when reading a book, but Frank Viola’s sharp storytelling and insightful interpretation made me hunger for more of the real Jesus.” —Mary DeMuth, author of Everything: What You Give
