I Am a Church Member: Discovering the Attitude That Makes the Difference - Thom S. Rainer
\nBest-selling author and ministry leader Thom S. Rainer drew an exceptional response when he posted a 500-word declaration about church membership to his daily blog. I Am a Church Member started a conversation about the attitudes and responsibilities of church members -- rather than the functional and theological issues -- that previous new member primers all but ignored. \nThoughtfully expanded to book form, I Am a Church Member begins to remedy the outbreak of inactive or barely committed church members, addressing without apology what is expected of those who join a body of believers. When a person's attitude is consistently biblical and healthy, matters of giving, serving, and so forth will fall into place more naturally. \nSix intentional chapters with study questions guide this rising discussion: \n \n1. I Will Be a Unifying Church Member \n2. I Will Not Let the Church Be About My Preferences and Desires \n3. I Will Pray for My Church Leaders \n4. I Will Lead My Family to Be Healthy Church Members \n5. I Will Be a Functioning Member \n6. I Will Treasure Church Membership as a Gift \n\n
