It is a great book, but didn't like the way the shipment was handled. I ordered 20 books, and instead of 1 shipment, it took 5 shipments to get them all here.

Churches are dying all across America and people need to realize that if they are not fulfilling their place in the church, then it is their fault. This book shows that each member has a responsibility and it is imperative to the future of the church that they fulfill that responsibility. A church is only as good as "you" make it.

I read "I Am a Church Member" after I read another of Dr. Rainer's books, "High Expectations." In many ways, this book is a companion piece to that work. "High Expectations" talks of a church leader communicating commitment to church membership. "I Am A Church Member" spells out what it means to make that commitment from the members point of view and comes with a pledge at the end of each chapter. The pledges are I will: (1) be a functioning church member; (2) be a unifying church member; (3) not let my church be about my preferences and desires; (4) pray for my church leaders; (5) lead my family to be healthy church members; and (6) treasure church membership as a gift. It is suggested that "I Am a Church Member" be given out to church members and pastors should preach a six-week sermon series using the biblical basis from each chapter as a guide. An excellent resource to help set the expectations for church members.Read full review

The content of the book is inspiring, that why we give the book away to our church family. The only complaint I have is several books contain writing on some of the pages and we could not give them away.
