Description

A thought–provoking introduction to the importance of the local church

It seems that increasing numbers of professing Christians in the West do not attend church. Church, to many, has become a place to go when it is convenient, to have one’s needs met. Terry L. Johnson asks whether our individualistic, dismissive attitude to the gathering of the local church can be squared with that of the New Testament.

Examining what the Bible has to say about the church, Johnson shows why the local body of believers is an essential part of the life of every believer – and the role that each individual believer plays in the life of the church. This thought–provoking, challenging book will benefit every believer.

Endorsements

Written with provocative apologetic flair, Pastor Terry Johnson informs his readers that the church is not a voluntary institution, but a living organism to which we must belong. You will walk away from this resource not only better informed biblically, but encouraged and motivated to invest deeply in the bride of Christ, the church of God. 

Erin Wheeler, Author of ‘The Good Portion – The Church: Delighting in the Doctrine of the Church’

This book will not only enhance your growth in grace but will become an instrument as you disciple others in Christ’s Church.

Harry L. Reeder III, (1948 – 2023) Senior Pastor, Briarwood Presbyterian Church, Birmingham, Alabama
