  • Fast food. Fast cars. Fast and furious. Fast forward. Fast . . . church? The church is often idealized (or demonized) as the last bastion of a bygone era, dragging our feet as we're pulled into new moralities and new spiritualities. We guard our doctrine and our piety with great vigilance. But we often fail to notice how quickly we're capitulating, in the structures and practices of our churches, to a culture of unreflective speed, dehumanizing efficiency and dis-integrating isolationism. In the beginning, the church ate together, traveled together and shared in all facets of life. Centered as they were on Jesus, these seemingly mundane activities took on their own significance in the mission of God. InSlow Church, Chris Smith and John Pattison invite us to leave franchise faith behind and enter into the ecology, economy and ethics of the kingdom of God, where people know each other well and love one another as Christ loved the church.

    Metal bracket is cheap and bends easily
    Color: White, Size: 36"W x 12"D, 1 Pack
    Worst shelf I have ever purchased. Waisted my money, do not waist yours. Installed with the anchors the shelf came with and it did not hold the shelf at all. This happened with nothing on the shelf, just trying to install with the directions given. The entire metal bracket bent and now the shelf is completely useless. IKEA would have been a better option. So disappointing

    Looks good.
    Color: Walnut, Size: 36"W x 12"D, 2 Pack
    They look nice. Easy to mount. The level is garbage…throw it away. Pretty light weight. The stability is good as long as the heavier stuff is placed close to the back of the shelf. It price is to high for this product. Take about $30 off and it would be a reasonable price for the product.

    The shelf is ok. The drywall anchor that comes with the shelf are useless and had to purchase better EZ toggle anchors. Wish the metal bracket was longer so it could hit two studs. Thickness is good. Light shelves. Assembly is fine if you purchase your own drywall anchors, stud screw and have your own level.
