Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

I'm surrounded by people at church . . . so why do I feel so alone?You show up at church every Sunday. You see people you know. You listen to a sermon together. And then you go home feeling just as isolated as you did before. What's going on?We all know that a church is supposed to be a community. The trick is to actually make it one. Communities don't happen by chance--certainly not in our Lone Ranger culture that values independence and individualism. A truly Christian community must be built by intentional practices that allow for deeper connections, centered on the unity that can only be found in Christ.In A Field Guide for Genuine Community, longtime pastor and discipleship trainer Ben Connelly shows you that the biblical model for community is the family of God. In twenty-five short, practical readings, he takes you beyond the surface and helps you learn to connect with your brothers and sisters as true family members. The church isn't meant to be a collection of strangers. God intends for you to find a unified and purposeful household where you truly belong.
