About this book

Author Barnabas Piper states in the first chapter of his book:

“We are looking for something personal, something deeply meaningful, something with which we can identify. And this book is an invitation to find that in the church, because God wants us to …Part of God’s perfect strategy is offering hurting, tired, worn out, needy sinners like you and me a place to belong in … A place in which to encounter the profound, transformative, healing, restoring grace of Jesus Christ.”

This book explores how you can help to create a church where everybody feels at home: a place where fellow believers build genuine, honest, meaningful Christian relationships and enjoy ...

Endorsements

We are saved not just into an individual relationship with Christ but into the gathered community of his church. In an age of extreme individualism and profound loneliness, Barnabas gives us a glimpse into the church’s purpose and beauty, her shared values and challenges, inviting us to take our place in something greater than ourselves: the communion of saints. Here is good help for all who long to belong.

Jen Wilkin Author, None Like Him and Women of the Word

The church of Jesus Christ is designed by God to be a celebration of the miracle of belonging. Because of the grace of Jesus, we belong to God and to one another. In a way that I have never read before, Barnabas Piper not only defines that belonging but also helps us to understand how to live with one another in a way that always reflects that, by grace, we together belong to God

Paul David Tripp Author and Conference Speaker

Most Christians really want to connect with and to serve their local congregations. They often just don’t know how or where to start. Barnabas Piper does away with hectoring or manipulation and offers accessible and wise counsel on how to find that kind of love and belonging within the community of Christ.

Customer Reviews

5.00 stars Really helpful resource for small groups

 

Belong is a really helpful resource which we've used in two different settings within the last year; firstly in an established church and then as part of a new church plant. Piper (Barnabas) gently persuades and encourages a scriptural understanding of church belonging that is so key to embrace and be reminded of for both new and old churches. The online questions to go alongside the book are well worth using and adapting according to your church situation. The chapters are long enough to chew over and yet short enough to read from one small group meeting to the next.

4.00 stars A helpful resource

 

We are using this in our church connect groups and it has been a good tool for improving our people love and commitment to each other.

5.00 stars Great book!

 

This book discusses what many churches need: gospel community. Very thankful for this book and I look forward to studying it with my church.
