Publisher Description

Fellowship among believers is more than just talking over coffee after church service. Biblical fellowship in New Testament times—or koinonia—had rich and varied meanings, including covenant relationship, partnership in the gospel, communion with God and others, and the sharing of earthly possessions.In True Community, best-selling author Jerry Bridges guides you through koinonia and its implications for today’s church. With discussion questions at the end of each chapter, this book will help you dig deeper into what Christian community in the twenty-first century should look like. You will come away with a new appreciation for fellowship, the church, and what God intended the body of Christ to be.

"This is an accessible book that covers significant aspects of the rich and incredibly important word: koinonia. Those seeking to better understand the Scriptural truths of living in fellowship (in communion, community) with Christ and other Believers will be blessed by this book."

    " This book was great. I think every Christian should read this. This book helps believers understand that fellowship/communion according to the bible is more than social gatherings. Great book! "

    " Excellent book. Jerry systematically walks the reader through the fullness of the term Koinonia and gives us different views as it is expounded in scripture. A real blessing to read and practice the true Fellowship. "

    " Some really good, helpful thoughts on what actual fellowship should look like (hint: it's not just hanging out and it's not just Bible study), as well as, really, what it means to be a friend. A little slow in parts but worthwhile. "

    " An excellent study of the word koinonia and how understanding it from the Word can transform our conceptions of community. "
