Why Do We Feel Lonely at Church?

“There is no denying the perennial problems of loneliness, isolation, and lack of meaningful community in the local church. Jeremy Linneman has identified these problems and digs deeply into the root causes and, better still, a cure. If you are among the many who have been wounded by the church or have abandoned it altogether because you never felt genuinely connected, this short book is for you. It may well prove to be your first step back into the spiritual life of the body of Christ, the only place where meaningful community can be found.”

Sam Storms

“This is like a heartfelt devotional with a call to respond. Jeremy Linneman gives us researched help for understanding why we’re often so lonely. Then he suggests practical steps for the hard but rewarding work of community building. Embedded with rich theology and the sure promises of God, these pages challenge us to practice and experience how we belong to God and to each other.”

“From the first paragraph, Jeremy Linneman had me engaged in this important but overlooked topic. Reading on, I was encouraged by his insightful proposals to address the loneliness that is all too pervasive in the church. You will want not only to read this thoughtful work but also to employ its practical suggestions to develop and experience true belonging in your life and church.”
