In the spirit of his popular The Jesus Connection and Reclaiming Evangelism, Jan Linn challenges the way we think about church membership and proposes that congregations embrace “covenant membership,” a new, more spiritual approach that calls church members to be more than names on a list. Covenant membership is based on the concept of church membership as a spiritual discipline. In this book, Linn examines how membership works in most congregations, how it became as it is, and how we can create stronger, more involved congregations. Chalice Press
