THE CHURCH MEMBER'S GUIDE: A Classic Desperately Needed in our Day
John Angell James

This volume was once the most popular book in both the UK and the USA for instructing Christian's in their privileges and responsibilities as members of the body of Christ. Many are familiar with Calvary Press' booklet "The Duties of Church Members to their Pastors", which is simply one chapter from this invaluable book. It would be a great tool for those who teach New Member's Classes, or Discipleship Training classes. The response to this announced publication has brought forth a very encouraging response! A valuable and challenging book for every member of Christ's Church.
