Gathered by Christ: The Overlooked Gift of Church

Are you comforted by the Church? Are you irritated by the Church? Does the thought of walking into those doors on a Sunday morning bring you peace or does it bring you anxiety? For many, the Church is no longer a safe place, even for those who attend regularly. Societal pressures, frustration caused by bureaucracy and abuse within churches, and the negative perception of institutions today result in pain and confusion around the idea of ＂church.＂ Gathered by Christ: The Overlooked Gift of Church helps readers see the Church through Jesus’ eyes. It examines how the Church provides comfort and strengthening of faith in a concrete way, with Scripture and faithful witness as a guide.
