What comes to your mind when you think of the word "home"? What stirs in your heart when you reflect upon the characteristics of the very best home you could ever have? The very best home - the one that is created in the heart of God.

And what happens when you think about this in connection with your congregational life? Does your congregation fulfill your heart's desire to be close to God and to love God through serving God?

If it doesn't, then Coming Home is the book for you and your congregation.

Coming Home began with the author's experiences when she returned to congregational life. She had always felt that she was on the outside of church life, but thought that would end when she became an ordained pastor; instead, the feeling only intensified. In her experience, congregations did not seem to provide ways of being close to Jesus and following Him, or focus on loving and serving God and neighbor. Might it be, that the difficulties that many congregations are experiencing with declining membership and commitment are a "wake-up" call from God to get our attention and "come back home" to God.

Coming Home begins by exploring the reasons why congregations have moved away from focusing on their need to abide in Jesus and focus on Him. The writing moves forward in a faith journey to reflect upon the importance of theology in abiding in Jesus and ways of nurturing people and congregations in living with Jesus at the center of their lives.

Coming Home is the beginning of the journey to live with God and be God's people in our world. Will you answer God's call to "come home" and begin again your journey with God?
