Not sure we really need another book on the importance of the church, but this volume is set apart in that it seeks to respond to very recent troubles created in the church by political division and covid. So while there is really nothing new here (Christians need to gather physically; preaching is important to the life of the church; congregations are led by elders and deacons; discipline is actually a loving thing to do), it mostly manages to feel fresh because of our current cultural context. When a society is rocked by seismic changes, it’s natural to wonder if the old truths are still as true as they used to be. This book reminds us that they are: the church is still where “heaven touches down on planet earth” (p.25), which is where every Christian needs to be.
