The church is widely viewed in the world at large as being outdated, boring, irrelevant and filled with backbiting hypocrites.
How different that picture is to how the Bible talks about the new family that Jesus has gathered. It is a precious bride, a sparkling jewel, a lifeboat for forgiven sinners that is precious and holy; nurturing and warm; filled with truth, friendship and all embracing, forgiving love.
Sam Allberry understands the collision between these two views, and how, even as Christian believers, we can lose sight of how truly wonderful church is and what a privilege it is to be part of.
In this brief, accessible but thorough guide to church, Sam outlines what church is and why we need it. And how, when we have got it wrong, we can move closer to what a true church should be.
Part of the Questions Christians Ask series: a range of short, simple books designed to help Christians grapple with the contemporary issues.

I found this a concise biblical account of what Christ's church is - His people gathered, building each other up into the fulness of Christ to His glory. Easy to read and understand.

We used this book for a church wide book club recently over a month. It was most apt since we've been meeting online for most of this year and it reminded us that we need each other even though the regulations keep us apart. This meant intentional meetups and seeing that the extra effort is definitely both worth it, and necessary for us to keep walking in the light.
Personally, I enjoyed the extra sections of each chapter that tackled ...FAQs. ◡̈ Thanks Sam and the team for pushing this out.
Because it's a light read of 95 pages, small enough to fit into your pocket (both the physical and e-copy ;)), short and sharp points made towards the purpose of the book, I totally recommend it!
The Covid pathway has been a difficult one & not attending church made me approach this book in the hope it would ‘boost’ my rather negative feelings at the time. It was easy to read & gave me food for thought as I could identify with many of the problems raised & it gave ideas to rectify these problems. I closed the book feeling, without being part of & attending church regularly, I miss out on so much myself but also with my relationship with Jesus, it’s a no brainer!!
