{"product_id":"the-church-why-bother","title":"The Church, Why Bother?","description":"The Church: Why Bother? In one way or another  virtually every troubling trend in the current world of evangelical Christianity is rooted in misunderstanding about the church. What is her proper mission? What is her role in an increasingly secular culture? What should her priorities be? How should a local church function? Why is church membership necessary? or is it? What is the basis for true unity? This excellent book shines the clear light of Scripture on those and many other questions. Since Christ loved the church enough to die for her  every believer ought to share that passion. Jeffrey Johnson clearly does  and I believe you will find his enthusiasm contagious. - JOHN MACARTHUR  Pastor\/Teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley California and President of The Masters College and Seminary","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44895609028661,"sku":"ByrdShop_1599253194","price":226.78,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/ByrdShop_1599253194_e826fe1d-35fd-4898-b4c7-97e72edcf894.jpg?v=1770653311","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-church-why-bother","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
