People are often curious and occasionally apprehensive about what the church is like. Not many people come sliding out of a reformed pipeline and straight into a pew - they come from all over the religious and non-religious spectrum. We don't want people to be surprised in a bad way about what they will encounter.

Four brief chapters, just over sixty pages, but nevertheless, a little gem from Dale Ralph Davis. The author outlines what a Reformed church is, and what a true Christian is. He then concludes with a chapter aimed at non-christians, showing the importance, necessity and the way of salvation. It is concise, yet also profound, and although Davis writes from a Presbyterian point of view, those in other denominations and church groupings should also find it of great use. It could also be a good book to pass on to interested, seeking non-Christians.

"Prejudice Buster". "It is a kind of Brochure-cum-browser which enables people to make an informed choice about whether or not yours might be the church in which to settle...this book will dissolve the prejudices which many people bring through our church doors and win them for Christ and his church"
John Benton Director of Pastoral Support, The Pastors’ Academy, London Seminary, London, UK
"I can't imagine anything better [than this book] for teaching what it means to belong to The House that Jesus Built - to new Christians who don't yet understand the church (and older ones who ought to!). Ralph Davis is a good friend, and a great Bible teacher. Once again he has come up with a gem for us with this little manual on the church. Biblical, succinct, clear, fun and, above all, brief."
William J. U. Philip Minister, The Tron Church, Glasgow
"In an age where everyone is offering to re-design the church, Ralph Davis, in this small booklet, winsomely, clearly and most of all Biblically reminds us that we have a designer of the church - Jesus Christ - and the glory and majesty of His design. This is a great instrument to remind, encourage and attract people to the bride of Christ and the body of Christ - His Church."
