The Church Member

"Being a member of a church ought to mean something. And it ought to require something of each member. It is more than a religious club of people who are like me. It is the body of Christ that links us with people from all races, cultures, languages, and nations. . . . Read these pages and discover the adventure that awaits you as a member of the body of Christ."

--Jimmy Draper, President Emeritus of Lifeway Christian Resources and former President of the Southern Baptist Convention



"Occasionally I read a book and then say, 'I wish I had written that!' The Church Member is just such a book. Seldom do I read something that is clear, helpful, theologically sound, and interesting all at the same time. . . . If you want to know how to be a biblically balanced, effective church member, then read this book!"

--David Allen, Dean of the School of Theology at Southwestern Seminary



"Using Scripture, attention-getting illustrations, and transparency with personal experiences, Jared offers an attractive appeal to churchmanship. This is a book that helps the church member go deeper into discipleship than the ordinary new convert approach. Jared's passion is to help believers be better followers of Jesus Christ."

--Jim Richards, Executive Director of Southern Baptists of Texas Convention
