The United Methodist Member's Handbook

This bestseller has been completely revised, expanded, and updated for today's United Methodist. Koehler engages and guides inquirers and church members (senior high and up) in a comprehensive orientation to the meaning of faithful membership in The United Methodist Church. In 40 easy-to-use chapters, he addresses topics organized around three themes - belonging, remembering, and believing. In addition to being an ideal gift for new members, the handbook is an excellent resource for a variety of study groups: classes teaching the faith to new Christians; study groups introducing The United Methodist Church to persons transferring from other denominations; classes for persons renewing their vows; and small groups for members seeking a deeper understanding of United Methodism. Designed for both clergy and laity.

Dr. George E. Koehler, writer and Christian educator, has contributed scores of articles to journals and magazines, and has written United Methodist curriculum resources and audiovisuals for children, youth, and adults. An editor for Discipleship Resources from 1980 to 1986, he is now retired and living in Nashville, TN. He is the author of Karawa and the Southwind, Learning Together, and The United Methodist Member's Handbook.
