Why I am a member of the Church of Christ

An excellent book to read and study. It gives biblical information for every statement. It is not based on the opinion of the writer, but on God's word. I believe that one who reads this book will understand the truth.

Must Have Book for the Curious

This book does an excellent job of explaining the distinctive doctrines of the churches of Christ, which by current religious standards is a peculiar group. The book is well laid out and easy to follow. Whether the reader agrees with the teachings or not, he will come away with a good understanding of not only what church teaches, but why, including the plethora of scriptural references used by the church to back up its teachings. Subjects covered include teachings and practices on: the Bible; who founded the church, where, and when; the nature of the church and its mission; church names and organization; divisions and denominations; inherited sin; how one is saved, including the role of Christ's blood, repentance, and baptism; Christian living; prayer; miracles; and worship, including communion and church music. These teachings, in whole, distinguish the churches of Christ from other religious groups. One fault with the book is that the print is small and looks like it was typed using an old typewriter, making it a bit difficult to read. Any future printings should consider having the type reset. Overall, this is a must have book for those who have friends or family who are members of the church of Christ or for those who are otherwise curious about the church's teachings.

Reads like the early church fathers

This book written in 1945 has stood the test of time. Its content reads like the early church fathers, and in my opinion reflects accurately and eloquently the teaching of the New Testament regarding the church of the Bible. Other weightier matters that could have been included however are the teaching concerning partication in war and the Christian's responsibility toward the poor, both of which were unpopular at the time of Brownlow's writing. He is to be commended for stearing clear of various divisive issues. The Lost Mystery of Baptism

Excellent!

This is an excellent book! It very accurately outlines the beliefs of the church of Christ. It is very helpful to give it to someone who does not know about the church. While I disagree with his chapter on music, everything else is right on the mark!

This is a wonderful book.

This is the ideal book for the new convert trying to increase his/her understanding. Or this is the ideal book for the older member of the church that is trying to refresh and renew their bonds in Christ.I recomend this book to everyone .
