  • 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.

    GOOD
    Size: Twin, Color: Black
    The comforter feels soft and comfortable from the first night. I liked that it keeps you warm without feeling too heavy or overly hot. The color looked just like the pictures and so far it has kept its shape after washing. For the price, the quality felt really good and it gives the bed a clean look.

    perfect for tall people or people who want to feel small
    Size: California King, Color: White
    The Utopia bed cover in California king size is a total game changer for sleep. I’m a tall guy at 6’8 and finding bedding that actually covers me all the way is a pain, but this cover has plenty of room to spare. It spreads wide across the bed and hangs down nicely on the sides so I don’t wake up with cold feet or shoulders sticking out. The size alone makes it worth it, but the comfort takes it to another level. The bed cover is super warm without feeling heavy. On cold nights it keeps the chill out fast, and even when the heater’s off I stay cozy all night. The material feels soft and smooth, not scratchy like some other big blankets. It’s got a nice weight that makes it feel snug, but it’s not so thick that you overheat. For someone my height, it’s a relief to finally have something that covers everything without having to tug it around. The bed cover comfort is amazing after a long day. The bed cover feels soft enough to relax into but still strong and well made, so it doesn’t bunch up or slide around easy. It holds the warmth steady so you stay comfy till morning. The bed cover size means there’s plenty of room to share too, and it still feels like you got your own space. For the price, the bed cover is a perfect buy. It’s warm, big, and super comfortable, everything you need for a great night’s sleep. If you’re tall or just like extra space and a cozy feel, the bed cover is a great choice. Honestly I can’t find much to complane about, the bed cover just makes sleeping way easyer and way more relaxing.

    Hotel quality, budget friendly
    Size: King, Style: Light
    I’ve only used this for several nights. Overall I’m pretty happy with it, especially for the price. It is soft to the touch and has a nice, smooth feel. It’s lightweight but still provides enough warmth for mild to cool nights. I don’t like feeling weighed down when I sleep, so the light fill is actually a big plus for me. If you’re someone who sleeps hot, this is a solid choice. The corner tabs are super helpful. I paired it with a duvet cover and haven’t had issues with shifting or bunching. It also fits my bed well, though I could see it being a bit short on the sides if you have a very thick mattress. This is a great budget-friendly option and seems like it will be easy to maintain.

    A Great Comforter for Everyday Use
    Size: Full/Queen, Style: All-Season
    I absolutely love this comforter! I love the fact it’s machine washable, and it held up really well after the first wash. It fluffed back up nicely, stayed soft, and didn’t lose its shape. It’s not too heavy but still cozy enough to keep you comfortable. For the price, the quality exceeded my expectations, and I am very happy with this purchase. I highly recommend 😊
