If you are considering leaving the current place you worship and fellowship. I strongly encourage you to read this book first. Very good, Christ-Centered book with lots of things you want to consider and pray about.
Some amazing points from the book:
"The gospel is the heart of Christianity, and so it should be at the heart of our churches" (75).
"The Gospel is not the news that we're okay. It's not the news that God is love. It's not the news that Jesus wants to be our friend. It's not the news that He has a wonderful plan or purpose for our life. The Gospel is the good news that Jesus Christ died on the cross as a sacrificial substitute for sinners and rose again, making a way for us to be reconciled to God" (76).
"You and I cannot demonstrate love or joy or peace or patience or kindness sitting all by ourselves on an island. No, we demonstrate it when the people we have committed to loving give us good reasons not to love them, but we do anyway" (29).
