“In a world seemingly convinced that our fragmented, lonely, isolated existences are not only inevitable but good, Becoming God’s Family offers a refreshing and hopeful description of the meaning and significance of the family of God. Carmen Joy Imes has given the church the gift of a rousing call to take seriously our belonging to one another. Even those skeptical of the church will find in these pages a compelling vision of Christian faith that not only teaches us right doctrine but envelops us into a family.”
– Kaitlyn Schiess
