Book Overview
What God Intended for the Body of Christ
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, bestselling 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 twenty-first 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.
With a discussion guide for personal or group use.

Wonderful Insight
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I was reading this in my aim of more deeply understanding Fellowship, the cooperation between empowered partners for the realisation of a vision or dream. While the perspective on Fellowship in this book was Christian, it nonetheless provided a wonderful insight into Fellowship and the path to union between those coming together for a common purpose.
A must read for every Christian

I wondered if anyone else believed fellowship was important in today's society as depicted in the Bible. This book was like a wave of reassurance to me that God's calls us to practice the 'one another's' and not just know them. Too many people today freely give judgments on what is right and wrong, yet rarely take the initiative to show the care and compassion to our fellow brothers and sister in Christ. Combats the selfishness of our lives and through grace motives you to make time for others.
Very Informative
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
After looking through many bookstores for something on Christian fellowship, I finally found what I was looked for in this book. Our church's vision is to be an Acts 2:42 church. So, what IS fellowship? What does it look like? This book tells you what it is, what it is not, answered all my questions, and increased my knowledge considerably. It's deep, but not written so that it's confusing or "over your head". Boy, did I get an education. Excellent resource.
Wake up and smell the fellowship!

This book does a great job of contrasting the biblical idea of fellowship with what so often passes for fellowship in America. It does it in such a way to encourage you to start that fellowship!
