Are you okay with Jesus but not the church? Or is your church missing that mysterious ingredient: authenticity? Addressed to an age that believes “spirituality is hot, and religion is not,” the authors deliver a gut check on our beliefs and motivations about the value of church. A must read for both the fed up and the apathetic.

Publisher's Description:

This book presents the case for loving the local church. It paints a picture of the local church in all its biblical and real life guts, gaffes, and glory in an effort to edify local congregations and entice the disaffected back to the fold. It also provides a solid biblical mandate to love and be part of the body of Christ and counteract the "leave church" books that trumpet rebellion and individual felt needs.

Why We Love the Church is written for four kinds of people—the Committed, the Disgruntled, the Waffling, and the Disconnected.
