For your ministry gift of $9.99 or more, we'll provide Why Church?: You Were Never Meant to Believe Alone

Church attendance is falling, and the reasons people give are real: church hurt, hypocrisy, busyness, and the quiet belief that faith is something you can manage on your own. Why Church? takes those objections seriously, then answers them from Scripture. Drs. James and Cathie Hightshoe move through four movements: the Revelation, the Resistance, the Response, and the Reach. They make the case that the local church was God's idea from the beginning, name what you forfeit by staying home, and show how to go from attending to being planted, and from planted to sent. Fourteen chapters, with a discussion guide for small groups and personal reflection.
