With so many people floundering around from church to church trying to find one they can call their home this is a very timely book. Within its pages the authors detail a plan to help the reader find a place they can call their church. The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the church itself from a Biblical perspective and its purpose on the earth. The second part looks at various types of congregations you are likely to encounter. And the third part is about finding your place among God's People.

At the end of each chapter are actions you can take, direction for prayer to assist you, questions for reflection, and sometimes even tools to help you evaluate yourself and a church service to see if it is a place where you will be happy. In chapter nine they end up with five specific steps to find the church you can love. At the end of that chapter they even include questions to ask a leader at a potential church home so you can start the visiting process with a short list of those who are probably a good match with your family. Highly recommended path to find that church you love while still addressing the importance of prayer to help you find God's will for you in a church. Finding a Church You Love and Loving the Church You've Found is highly recommended.
