description: Awakening Affection for the Beauty of God's ChurchDear. Precious. Lovely. The Bible describes the church in extraordinary ways even using beautiful poetry and metaphors. How does this compare to how Christians today describe the church? Unfortunately many believers focus more on its mission structure or specific programs than on its inherent beauty. It's time to spark a renewed affection for the church.In this concise version of The Loveliest Place Dustin Benge urges Christians to see the holy assembly of God's redeemed people in all its eternal beauty. He explains what makes the church lovely including the Trinitarian relationship worship service and gospel proclamation. For those who have never learned to view the church as God sees it or have become disillusioned by its flaws this book is a reminder that the corporate gathering of believers is a reflection of God's indescribable beauty.This book is part of the Union series which invites readers to experience deeper enjoyment of God through four interconnected values: delighting in God growing in Christ serving the church and blessing the world.
