The Connecting Church
by Randy Frazee
On This Page
Description
The development of meaningful relationships, where every member carries a significant sense of belonging, is central to what it means to be the church. So why do many Christians feel disappointed and disillusioned with their efforts to experience authentic community? Despite the best efforts of pastors, small group leaders, and faithful lay persons, church too often is a place of loneliness rather than connection. Church can be so much better. So intimate and alive. The Connecting Church show more tells you how. The answer may seem radical today, but it was a central component of life in the early church. First-century Christians knew what it meant to live in vital community with one another, relating with a depth and commitment that made "the body of Christ" a perfect metaphor for the church. What would it take to reclaim that kind of love, joy, support, and dynamic spiritual growth? Read this book and find out. show lessTags

Frazee certainly is thinking outside the box. His analysis of suburbia and its impact on Christianity is worth the price of the book. I learned a lot from this book.
This book is about building community in a church through small groups. These pages give concpets and ideas on how to recruit and run a small grup. Randy gives acrostics that help drive home the point of community.
