Church Membership / 教会成员制 (Simplified Chinese): How the World Knows Who Represents Jesus (Building Healthy Churches (Chinese))

Leeman's perspective frames church membership as more than a label—it's a public declaration of allegiance. I'm curious what inspired this emphasis on external recognition.

Some parts highlighted accountability, which made me wonder how churches today can uphold standards without losing compassion. Would love to hear others' thoughts.

The book emphasizes public witness but also the internal community. I'm interested in how the author sees these two aspects interacting in modern church life.
