Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck paint a picture of the local church in all its biblical and real-life guts, gaffes, and glory in an effort to edify local congregations and entice the disaffected back to the fold. They provide a solid biblical mandate to love and be part of the body of Christ and counteract the “leave church” books that trumpet rebellion and individual felt needs. This book is written for four kinds of people: the Committed, the Disgruntled, the Waffling and the Disconnected.
