Summary:
The book challenges contemporary church practices and calls for a return to a more biblical, discipleship-focused model of community. It emphasizes the importance of love, unity, and a commitment to God's Word within the body of believers.
Key points:
1. Church Nature: Chan views the church as a faith community, not a building or event. He opposes the consumer-driven model and advocates for a biblical, relational one.
