The Americanized church culture as we know it is broken, hurting, and missing our greatest to love God and love people right where they are. We have become more invested in the superficial needs of man rather than leaving the four walls and becoming the bride.
Using the realities of life and conversations, The Broken Bride explores our need to get back to basics in Christ and revolutionize how we daily think of church and people to mend the broken bride. In this reflection, author and pastor Loni M. Stankan helps redefine the hurt church into the divine definition of the bride of Christ as the father intended.
Filled with wisdom and advice from living and walking the faith with other believers, Stankan challenges your perception and role of the traditional American church. She encourages Christians to rise up from the megachurches to megacommunities filled with love and grace rooted in the love of Christ and unified in one mind and one spirit.
When I tell you that this book seriously changed my outlook, wow! This book captures the idea of who the church is supposed to be. It calls for the church to become the hands and feet of Jesus. I could not stop reading. I could feel her passion about the church through the writing, and as someone who shares that passion, this book was wonderful. She hits extremely important points, and the message was beautifully delivered through the entire book. I think it is a worthwhile and even necessary read for all members of the church.
