Hope for When the Church Feels Broken

Does the church still matter in our modern world?

After waves of disillusionment, #churchtoo movements, and political divides, it’s easy to question the value of investing in the church.

Trusted biblical scholar Carmen Joy Imes offers an answer in Becoming God’s Family. Exploring the familial and communal identity of the church, Imes traces the thread of God’s presence in the gathered community of faith across the entire Bible. She invites readers into a vision of the church that is rooted deeply in Scripture and speaks directly to the challenges we face today. Imes reminds us of a powerful truth―God delights in the global, intergenerational family He has created.

Through this book, you’ll see how God keeps His promises. Whether you’re struggling to reconnect with the church, looking for a constructive vision for its role in our world, or seeking to better understand its biblical foundations, this rich yet accessible book offers clarity, hope, and encouragement.

What you’ll find in Becoming God’s Family:

A biblical foundation: Trace the theme of God’s presence through the entire biblical text, gaining new understanding of His communal and familial design for the church.
Insight for today’s issues: Imes addresses the disheartening realities of scandals, political polarization, and deconstruction with a constructive and hopeful perspective.
Encouragement for community: Discover the global and intergenerational nature of God’s family and the joy of his presence among his people.
