"Why We Love the Church" is a Bible-centered defense of the church that reminds us that while we're here, the church, like humanity, will never be perfect. Therefore, rather than trash it and leave it behind, we should love it as the bride of Christ that it is. DeYoung and Kluck's book is a much-needed reminder of what the church is, especially needed by the rising generation of people my age (18-25) that are leaving the church in greater numbers. It also corrects widespread misconceptions about the purpose of the church and controversial moments in church history (i.e., the Crusades). It is a Biblical, truthful, well-backed and well-researched work that is critical for followers of Christ to know. I highly recommend this book for any young person and especially for leaders in your church.

Having read "Why I am Not Emergent", I cam to appreciate the study that Kevin put in and the daily Practicality that Ted offered. This book, "Why I Love the Church" has added to that appreciation. It has caused me to ask myself why I love the church. I have been a part of local churches in every capacity for over sixty years. In that time I have heard a lot of "new" ideas on how to remake, reform, renew, or remove the church, but they all seemed to end up being no more that a house built on sand with no foundation. When they fell, it was the church built on a solid foundation of Jesus Christ and His Word that had to take them in.

Ephrem Hagos
According to the masterplan and its execution, the Church is nothing but the answer to the question "Who Jesus Christ is", in his standing self-revelation at his perfect and diacritical death on the cross, without any institutional and organizational features (Matt. 16: 13-28; 27: 50-61; John 8: 21-28; 19: 30-37).Contrary to the Christian agenda, the Biblical mandate for the new and universal form of worship of God, in Spirit and truth, clearly overrules any local congregations (John 4: 21-26).

Stephen Sapp
Excellent book on the past, present, and future purpose of the local church as we know it. It not defends the local church but it also gives clear Biblical evidence as to why they are essential in the life of believers and unbelievers alike. The writing is superb, the Biblical support is excellent, and the overall defense is nothing short of inspiring. Great book for all!
