Why Church? Discover the Life-Changing Benefits for You Help People Understand The Benefits Of God’s Idea—The Church! Often people who don’t regularly attend church, don’t understand why the church exists. Many have a superficial idea based on past experiences, pre-conceived notions or things they have heard from others. In reality they are less concerned about why the church exists—and much more interested in “how the church can benefit me and my family?” Help your Back to Church Sunday visitors see the real benefits of coming to church—offer them the new book, Why Church? Discover the Life-Changing Benefits for You. This book: • Guides both seekers and attenders through the spiritually, socially, emotionally, financially, and physically benefits of being involved in a local church.
Cover image not final
• Helps new attenders discover that the church is a place to grow & learn about God and develop all areas of their lives. It shows them how they will flourish in ways not possible without a church.
• Re-kindles a vision for the church, and encourages those who have “dropped out” to reconnect and re-invest their lives in the local church. • Reminds regular attenders why the local church is not only a good idea, but a necessity in this stress-filled, fear-injected, self-centered world we live in. • Demonstrates how the church meets the universal human desire to have a stronger relationship with God, experience His love in a more meaningful way, focus more on what really matters, and develop deeper relationships with others. Why Church? is a perfect visitor gift for Back to Church Sunday or anytime of the year! (160 Pages, 5.5” x 8.5” softcover) BK1565863 $123.75/pack of 25.
