I applaud Pastor Humbert for his bold, straightforward approach in articulating what should be the true focus and goal of the church. Each chapter addressees realistic and relevant factors that should define the approach of every church that truly intends to “Be a place where scriptures are preached, where the spirit is pleasant, where soul-winning is promoted, and where separation is practiced.” AMEN!!!

Bruce Humbert is a Churchman. His life has been about church from a young boy, through Bible College and then as a pastor for 30 years. His book is hands-on, in-style and a treasure trove of valuable truths. His book is written for now. As I turned each page, one word pervaded my thoughts - TIMELY.

I am grateful to have this resource for myself and our church family! There is a dearth of understanding and clarity on this subject that was most precious to our Lord, His church! Brother Humbert’s book is, in fact, preaching in print that elevates the subject of the church in a way that reflects the heart of Christ for His Bride. Our church family wanted this book, and I also encourage any and everyone to obtain one for themselves.

Brother Humbert describes and develops why the church is a big deal by laying out 8 fundamental characteristics of His church. Brother Humbert states, “My goal is to remind all people who love God, and have a desire to know Him better, that understanding how big of a deal the Church is to Him is crucial to their spiritual life and growth.”

In a time of confusion about the necessity of the church and the reason for it, Bro. Humbert writes to help us ponder the BIG DEAL about the church and to embrace it. “What’s the Big Deal About Church?” is a call to the Christian now and the generations to come, to heed what the Bible says about church. This book is written with many years of experience, love, and humility. Our church has purchased and given away this book to every family in our congregation. You won’t regret putting this book in the hands of God’s people. I say let’s make church a BIG DEAL!

Practical and straightforward describe the author and his writing. Pastor Bruce Humbert has always been one of the most practical and straightforward people I know and those qualities have been a great help to me. The same qualities can be applied to his book “What’s the Big Deal About Church?”. It is a book that is accessible to every reader. By the time someone turns the last page, they will have enough reason to believe that the church is a big deal. If you are looking for a book that provides a concise overview about what the church is to be all about, then this is a resource you should consider.
