Who would have thought finding a church home could be so hard?
Peter and his wife have a strong marriage. But when it comes time to find a new church after they move, their differences couldn't be more pronounced.
At first, their aim is straightforward. He'll write a book about the churches they visit. She'll choose the one they'll embrace as their new spiritual family.
It sounds like a simple plan, but this Christian couple soon discovers their quest for a home church is far more difficult.
An entertaining, poignant memoir for Christian believers, SHOPPING FOR CHURCH will give you fresh insight into the state of today's churches in an ever-changing world.
This authentic read is part of the Visiting Churches Series by acclaimed Christian author Peter DeHaan. These books take you behind the scenes into congregations that are far different than your own ... and some that feel just like the church you grew up in.
If you're a spiritual lurker curious about what goes on beneath the steeples of America's churches, a seasoned church member looking for some fresh insight, or a pastor trying to engage newcomers, this book is for you.
Read SHOPPING FOR CHURCH today for an impactful spiritual read that is guaranteed to make you reflect on the places, people, and gatherings we call church.
