Building Authentic Community

Do you find fulfillment in your local church? Many Christians in North America do not, and some even hate the church in general because of its cultural form. Building Authentic Community, a new book by pastor and mission executive Tim Boal, explores the question, “How does Jesus feel about His church?”

Boal probes the decline of modernism and the rise of postmodernism to show why so many Americans are dissatisfied in their local churches. He explains that the gospel is the means for true relationship in community, and “family” in the Bible can be used as a metaphor for the church.

An experienced pastor, church-planter and mission executive, Boal is the pastor of Penn Valley Grace Brethren Church in Telford, Pennsylvania, and he is also the executive director of Grace Brethren North American Missions.

Building Authentic Community retails for $13.99 and the ISBN number is 0-88469-307-4.

Div., D.D.).  Tom and his wife Doris served as missionaries in France for 28 years, and Julien was Executive Director of Grace Brethren International Missions until 2000.  He is currently involved in leadership training.

Walking Like Jesus Did

By Larry E. McCall
Foreword by Dr. Jerry Bridges

How can a true follower of Jesus Christ be recognized? 1 John 2:5b-6 explains, “This is how we know we are in him: Whoever claims to live in him must walk as Jesus did.” But, what does “walking like Jesus did” look like in daily living?

Walking Like Jesus Did is a challenging but easy-to-read handbook that helps Christians better understand what it means to walk as Jesus did. McCall explains that mirroring the character of Jesus should be the normal pattern of life for a Christian. The author lays out 14 character traits that Jesus demonstrated in His own life, and he explains how those traits can and should be reflected in the daily lives of Jesus' followers.

Helpful, field-tested discussion questions after each chapter make this a valuable tool not only for personal growth, but for one-on-one mentoring relationships, family devotions, small groups and Sunday School classes.
