{"product_id":"from-pews-to-people","title":"From Pews to People","description":"What if the Church was never meant to be something we simply attended?\n\nThe New Testament describes the Church as a body, a people joined to Christ and formed to make His Kingdom visible through shared life, discipleship, generosity, hospitality, truth, correction, and love.\n\nFrom Pews to People: Reclaiming the Church as a Living Body in the Kingdom of God invites believers to examine what Scripture actually reveals about the identity and purpose of the Church.\n\nThis book is not a rejection of gathered worship. It is a call to let the gathering form a people who remain the Church after the service ends.\n\nInside, Charles Rogers and Roni Leah explore:\n\n• The New Testament vision of the Church  \n• The meaning of ekklesia and the shared identity of God’s people  \n• Moving from spectatorship to meaningful participation  \n• Building community shaped by truth, love, responsibility, and discipleship  \n• Recognizing the role of every believer within the Body of Christ  \n• Carrying the life of God’s Kingdom beyond Sunday and into everyday life  \n\nWritten with careful biblical teaching, honest questions, and practical reflection, From Pews to People challenges readers to move beyond inherited habits and rediscover what Christ intended His Church to become.\n\nDo not accept the message merely because we wrote it. Open your Bible. Examine the context. Ask what Christ intended His Church to become.\n\nThis listing is for the physical 6 × 9 paperback edition with a matte cover. A printed book will be shipped to you.","brand":"Verity House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46245639192661,"sku":"mv62w8","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0639\/1883\/3749\/files\/57ngn52-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1790701211","url":"https:\/\/verityhouse.us\/products\/from-pews-to-people","provider":"Verity House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
