Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. An accessible and interesting book about the nature of church and how its importance for Christians. I a couple nit picky critiques but think it could be a good discussion starter. Full review is at: http://thoughtsprayersandsongs.com/2013/01/20/leave-it-or-love-it/ ( ) If I were to rate this book on a scale of 1-10 it would barely get a 3. It was very poorly written. The author tried to weave a story throughout the book to enhance the overall message and provide the opportunity for application, unfortunately there is little consistency to this "story" and many times the characters are forced and do more to detract from the message than enhance it. Also, there are many assumptive statements that he never even tries to back up with information. Unfortunately, I feel that what he has to say is very important and I agree with many of his conclusions, but his presentation leaves much to be desired. The one highlight of the book is his treatment of Biblical eldership within a church. I felt that he at least did a good job of handling that. no reviews | add a review
Loving the Church reminds us how glorious God¿s family really is, and the countless ways that you can flourish within it. In recent years the family has experienced a revival within Christian culture, but with this increased emphasis on the importance of
the family, less value has been placed on God¿s family, the church. One of the most important relationships for all Christians is their involvement in God¿s family. Loving the Church lays the vital foundation for applying his glorious plan to our own lives. Enter as friends and explore together what it means to love the church. Follow the story of five friends as they wrestle with important questions about the church. After each of their discussions about the church, the author leads the reader to understand the beauty and joy of being a member of the household of God. No library descriptions found. |
