Engelsma's recent book, \u003cem\u003eBound to Join\u003c\/em\u003e, addresses the doctrine of church membership and has received criticism from both expected and unexpected critics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book answers those critics, defending the doctrine of church membership and demonstrating that love for the universal, invisible church invariably expresses itself by love for the manifestation of this church in the church institute. This book also examines the \"house church\" movement and the claim by such men as Harold Camping that the church age has ended.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is a must-read, especially for those who have read \u003cem\u003eBound to Join\u003c\/em\u003e!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David J.
