** After waves of disillusionment, #churchtoo movements, and political divides, it’s easy to question the value of investing in the church.
------------------------------------------------------------

Yet Carmen Joy Imes offers a profound answer that resonates through the pages of Becoming God’s Family. Exploring the familial and communal identity of the church, Imes traces the thread of God's presence in the gathered community of faith across the entire Bible. She invites readers into a vision of the church that is rooted deeply in Scripture and speaks directly to the challenges we face today. Imes reminds us of a powerful truth—God delights in the global, intergenerational family He has created.

“This is a stirring book, beautifully written and rich on every page. Bringing the Scriptures and our lives together, this book has been needed for a long time. Many of us have longed for a book that explores the family inside the biblical tradition. This book is a gift to ministers, practical theologians, and biblical scholars.”
