What does it really mean to be a Christian? When people finally grasp who they are in Christ and what their participation means to their local church, everything changes. Life begins to make sense. Respected pastor, author and church consultant Thom Rainer explains how the local church is God's primary plan for reaching the world with his love.

The urgent need of our day is for Christians to understand who they are, what they believe, and how that affects what they do. And the best place to answer those crucial life questions is in the context of the local church. It's nothing short of amazing and miraculous what God will do through a group of devoted Christians who become committed and selfless church members. 128 pages, hardcover.
