WHY BOTHER WITH CHURCH?

This is a very disappointing book. The chosen subject is excellent - in our highly individualistic and self-centred age, there is a need to remind people of the centrality of the church in God's purposes. The reason the book is so disappointing is because the contents are so poor.
The basic problem is profound: I would question whether this book is evangelical in its approach. Time and time again the author gives answers different from the great teachings of the Bible so clearly identified by evangelicals from the Reformation onwards.
