Well, here's a list of books that I would HIGHLY recommend. They have been a great help to me as we've tried to sort through the maze of local churches.
"Church: Why Bother?" by Philip Yancey
Yancey retraces his personal journey through many of his own difficult questions and doubts about the reasons and purpose of joining a local church.
"Who Moved My Church" by Mike Nappa
In a similar style of "Who Moved the Cheese," Nappa's parable examines how the church is to interact with today's culture. This one is humorous, entertaining and thought-provoking.
"More Jesus, Less Religion" by Stephen Arterburn & Jack Felton
Arterburn & Felton take a look at the damage of religious legalism and "churchianity." This is a followup to their book "Toxic Religion." They call for a return a strong, obedient and grace-filled relationship with Jesus.
"Nine Marks of a Healthy Church" by Mark Dever
Dever examines the characteristics of a healthy and thriving church using nine qualities that are often neglected in today's churches.
I hope these help you in your journey.
In Christ,
Jay
