Belonging is just the beginning.
Whether you're new to faith or new to a community of believers, The Family of God is your trusted companion for navigating life in the Body of Christ. With clarity and pastoral warmth, LeRoy Lawson explains what it means to belong to such a community--not as an institution, but as a living, spiritual family. From baptism and belonging to service, stewardship, and spiritual growth, Lawson answers real questions with timeless wisdom drawn from Scripture and experience.
Originally published in 1981 and refreshed for a new generation, this book is a clear, accessible introduction to the Christian life and a compelling reminder of the beauty and responsibility of being part of Christ's body on earth.
Inside you'll explore:
- What it means to be part of the church--and why it matters
- How to grow in faith and stay grounded in community
- The blessings and costs of Christian discipleship
- How your gifts, time, and influence make a difference
