Becoming God's Family: Why the Church Still Matters

I quite enjoyed this book.

Carmen is a really great writer, who really delves deep on the theology.

I appreciated all the Bible references throughout the book, and found her insight very uplifting and personable.

The book is easy to understand and follow along, and Imes carefully includes personal stories among the heavier theological sections. This made the book very readable and interesting.

I especially enjoyed how Imes looks at some of the Old Testament verses (a rarer section of the Bible in most modern books), and I found her interpretations really engaging and accessible for wide audiences.

I recommend this book for anyone who is seeking Biblical focus for their church life and anyone interested in what makes the church essential for today.

I am always interested in Christian books that are more Scripture-first, and this book definitely delivers.
