How many times have we, as Christian mothers, called to our children to get ready for church? How many times have we been met with a resounding groan? Honestly, my kids aren’t alone in complaining. I, too, need to be reoriented and reminded that God is at the center of the church, not me. Erin compellingly shows us from God’s Word (which is our very life) what it means to be the blood–bought, chosen, treasured, covenant people of God and how the gospel truly is ‘church–shaped.’ The doctrine of the church gets to the very heart of God. Read this book with sisters in your local church and grow together in your love for Jesus and His beloved bride.

Sister, the truths awaiting you here are not just necessary, like medicine. They are also beautiful, like the Messiah Himself.

Weighty and yet practical, Erin’s book is a rare find. Her passion for the church is visible and contagious. Her clear and personal writing style makes this easy to read and accessible for a new believer, while full of rich teaching for the seasoned saint. Reading this book will change the way you relate to your local church. If our churches are to be places that ‘protect and proclaim His glory to the world’ then they need to be filled with people who have been transformed by the truths of this book.
