These are very important questions that demand an answer, especially in the casual age that were living in. Dr. Wayne Mack brings his years of experience as a Bible teacher, pastor and counselor to this very controversial topic. His answers are straightforward and clear: YES! You must become a church member if youre to be obedient to Our Lord Jesus Christ and the clear teaching of the New Testament. NO! Being a lone wolf Christian is not enough, per se; you must join with a local body of believers in a church that teaches sound doctrine. NO!

Sande takes readers beyond resolving conflicts to true, life-changing reconciliation with family members, coworkers, and fellow believers.
