I expected to pan this book in a review when I began it. It felt like another "church growth"-oriented, Gospel-lite pamphlet put out by LifeWay. Well, my presuppositions were exposed! This delightful book will be a staple for us as we follow up with visitors at our church. It paints a picture of an healthy church filled with imperfect people serving a Sovereign God who desire to love on each other and reach the outside World. The book includes a chapter with a Gospel presentation and present church as a place where you can both be served and serve others. Thank for this helpful resource, Dr. Rainer! ( )
