Building a Case for Church Membership: Discipleship and Group Study Edition

Meer over het boek

"I am a Christian, but I don't go to church. I don't believe in organized religion." "I go to church most Sundays, but I never joined. Never saw any need for it. Membership is just a tool or tradition anyway." "I joined the church because . . .well, I don't know why. It's just what Christians are supposed to do, I guess." If statements like these are familiar, you know that strong arguments for church membership are not within reach of most pastors and laypersons. Building a Case for Church Membership finally puts a strong, bible-based case for church membership within the average person's hands through an easy-to-understand construction motif. Denominationally diverse reviewers describe it as "clear, accessible, charitable, biblical, theological, and pastoral," "practical, useful, and convincing," and "straightforward and sensible." Formerly published as A Church You Can See: Building a Case for Church Membership (2017), this new edition has been revised for Sunday Schools, new member classes, church small groups, and one-on-one discipleship. Discussion questions have been added and the text is now more interdenominationally accessible.
