Revise Us Again

What do you do when God doesn’t appear to fulfill His promises in your life? How do you cope with not feeling God’s presence and what do you do when He seems to have walked off the stage of your life? What is the main destroyer of Christian relationships that no one talks about and how can you avoid it? What’s the truth behind spiritual gifts? How can you be set free from religious apathy on the one hand and performance-based legalism on the other? What are the three distinct ways that God speaks today and how can we recognize His voice when He speaks through them? What is Christian code language and Christianeze, and how can we rid ourselves of them? Why do so many mentors end up turning on their apprentices? What are the three spiritual conversational styles that Christians use which cause believers to assume they disagree with one another when they really don’t? This book offers solutions to these problems and more. Encouraging, insightful, and inspiring. A short, powerful, and easy-to-read work on spiritual transformation.

Reimagining Church

Are you aware that something is wrong with church as we know it, but can’t put your finger on what it is exactly? Do your spiritual instincts tell you that there has to be more to church than what you see around you? Do you crave richer and more authentic fellowship with other Christians? Have you ever considered that the traditional model of leadership, “covering,” and the way of doing church may not be biblical? This book explores these matters. It’s the constructive sequel to Pagan Christianity. Based on two decades of practical experience, Reimagining Church is a theology of church as organism rather than church as organization, offering a scriptural and practical new paradigm for leadership, gathering, and Christian community. Nominated for Best 2008 Book Award “Christian Leadership” category by Outreach Magazine.

Why is this, and is there a viable cure? If you are tired of the Christian Right vs. Christian Left squabbles and vitriol, you will appreciate this book.

Straight Talk to Pastors

sttp_small

The Scene: Thirty pastors ruling over ten churches in Santiago, Chile invite one man from the United States to speak to them about church life and church leadership. The Result: A high-drama, edge-of-your-chair message and a hair-raising question-answer session on church leadership, eldership, and authoritarian abuse that lasted the better part of an entire day! What some have called “the most remarkable church council ever to occur on South American soil,” this book contains the entire transcript of that meeting.

This book is being reformatted. Stay tuned.
