Richard Rice. Believing, Behaving, Belonging: Finding New Love for the Church. Roseville, Calif.: AAF, 2002.

"Community is the most important element of Christian existence. Believing, behaving, and belonging are all essential to the Christian life, but belonging is more important, more fundamental than the others. Moreover, because the Church is the creation of the Holy Spirit, it provides a fellowship that cannot be found anywhere else." - from the Introduction
