The Character of the Church: The Marks of God's Obedient People by Joe Thorn and published by Moody Publishers.
The second in Joe Thorn’s three-book series on the confession, nature, and expression of the Church, The Character of the Church explores what the church is fundamentally like. Useful for training in membership classes, discipleship groups, and elder boards—and even for devotional reading—The Character of the Church is at once theological, practical, and experiential. Readers will not simply be informed, but led to a deeper appreciation of the church of God.
