C.H. Spurgeon once referred to the local church as 'the dearest place on earth'. The aim of this little book is to encourage readers to embrace that same truth and to imitate Christ's own passion for the church.
I Kissed Dating Goodbye launched Josh Harris's writing career. In this new book, the author returns to the theme of relationships but this time he focuses on our relationship to the local church. In a winsome manner Harris exposes the fallacy of pursuing a relationship with Jesus without being committed to a relationship with his people. The book provides a precious remedy for those who have fallen into the trap of church dating.
