Connected to Christ: Overcoming Isolation Through Community

Publisher Description

We crave community. We long to be in an inviting place and in authentic connection with compassionate people. God created us with this longing-it's His vision for His people. Yet the feeling of isolation in a fractured, distanced world is a growing problem. The Church, though, is different. The Church is not a loose collection of individuals; it is a body of people woven together for a common good. Everyone is meant to be a part of it. Through the Church, God draws people into relationship with Him and with one another. This short book clearly and succinctly explains why connecting to our church community is necessary and describes how this can be done. Through biblical examples and stories from real life, readers will learn about Jesus' invitation to find community in Him, under the umbrella of His Gospel. Book jacket.
