The Country Church and Community Cooperation is a book written by Henry Israel and first published in 1913. The book explores the relationship between rural churches and the surrounding communities in the United States at the turn of the 20th century.

Israel begins by providing a historical overview of the role of churches in rural communities, tracing their development from the colonial period to the present day. He then goes on to examine the various ways in which churches can promote cooperation and social harmony, including through the provision of education, health care, and other services.Throughout the book, Israel emphasizes the importance of collaboration between churches and other community organizations, such as schools, civic groups, and local government. He argues that by working together, these organizations can create a more vibrant and cohesive community that is better able to address the challenges facing rural areas.Overall, The Country Church and Community Cooperation is an insightful and thought-provoking book that provides a valuable perspective on the role of rural churches in American society.
