Publisher's summary

Fellowship among believers is more than just talking over coffee after church service. Biblical fellowship in New Testament times - or koinonia - had rich and varied meanings, including covenant relationship, partnership in the gospel, communion with God and others, and the sharing of earthly possessions. In True Community, best-selling author Jerry Bridges guides you through koinonia and its implications for today’s church.

With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book will help you dig deeper into what Christian community in the 21st century should look like. You will come away with a new appreciation for fellowship, the church, and what God intended the body of Christ to be.

A call to break the chains of individualism

I appreciated the book's call to return to the type of Community Jesus showed. In these times of division and fear, there is a desperate need for us to be the Church and to live our lives as Jesus' witnesses and followers of The Way.

I highly recommend this for any Christian

I found this to be a well written, biblically sound, and concise description of what the Church should be and at its best, is. Clear and powerful and backed up with appropriate scripture, this little book describes the essence of true community. We belong to each other.
