About this title

Synopsis

“A Christian without a church is a Christian in trouble.”

Since a global pandemic abruptly closed places of worship, many Christians have skipped church life, even neglecting virtual services. But this was a trend even before COVID-19. Polarizing issues, including political and racial strife, convinced some people to pull away from the church and one another. Now it’s time to recommit to gathering as brothers and sisters in Christ.

In Rediscover Church, Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman discuss why church is essential for believers and God’s mission. Through biblical references and personal stories, they show readers God’s true intention for corporate gathering: to spiritually strengthen members as individuals and the body of Christ. In an age of church-shopping and livestreamed services, rediscover why the future of the church relies on believers gathering regularly as the family of God.

Published in partnership with the Gospel Coalition and 9Marks.

• Looks at current issues such as COVID-19, political strife, and racial injustice, and how each of these issues has challenged the local church
• Challenges all generations of Christians to think intently on many misconceptions about the church
• Encourages Christians to rediscover the unity of the church in its mission of evangelism, missions, mercy, and justice during difficult circumstances
