What is the Church? Do we need to be a part of one? What does a healthy church look like? Today many are confused about what God’s Word says about his body, the people of God—the church. The Church, the newest addition to the Good Portion series, invites readers to explore what the Scriptures have to say about the Bride of Christ. Part one of the book lays a biblical foundation for who the church is while part two delves into the nuts and bolts of God’s prescription for life together in the local church. Every Christian woman must understand the importance of God’s purpose and design for his church as she follows Christ. This book will help women not just to know the doctrine of God’s bride, the Church, but to delight in it as well.

‘Women make up half the church and yet resources by women, for women about the church are scarce. I was delighted, then, to read Erin Wheeler’s The Good Portion: Church. Wheeler is an engaging writer and a solid theologian whose own love for Christ’s bride shines on every page. If you are a woman looking to understand God’s design for the church, this book will be an invaluable resource. And even if your convictions about polity or sacraments differ from Wheeler’s, you will still find plenty here to ignite your love for your own local church. This book refreshed my gratitude to Christ for redeeming and gathering His church—I trust it will do the same for you.’
