    “Book Descriptions: Best-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.

    Thoughtfully 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.


    Six intentional chapters with study questions guide this rising discussion:


    1. I Will Be a Unifying Church Member
    2. I Will Not Let the Church Be About My Preferences and Desires
    3. I Will Pray for My Church Leaders
    4. I Will Lead My Family to Be Healthy Church Members
    5. I Will Be a Functioning Member
    6. I Will Treasure Church Membership as a Gift
