Do It Yourself City Church Restoration

A ground-breaking book about what the "church" is supposed to be, how God feels about what we've built and what it's going to take to fix it all. A complete paradigm shift for nearly everyone will be required. Many have tried before and some are trying even now - but there is ONE way to get this done right and that's getting out of God's way. But hardly anybody seems to know how to do that!Author Doug Perry is not theorizing about what it should look like. He speaks from real experience in DOING the things he writes about and hearing God direct all his steps. Do you have any idea how hard it is to NOT lean on your own understanding?! (Prov. 3:5-6)Lots more great resources for personal and church growth from Fellowship Of The Martyrs publishing. If you're a church planter or church growth consultant or any other kind of professional, pastor, prophet, priest, apostle, bishop or whatever else you might be - you better read this before you do anything else. It might just wreck you forever. It might just make you a broken and contrite vessel that will be useful for God's purposes.

Doug Perry is the founder of Fellowship of the Martyrs - a place to say hard things nobody wants to hear about what "church" is supposed to be. He is the author of seven books, hundreds of articles and nearly a thousand videos. He is also the founder and director of Liberty Disaster Relief, a community service agency that feeds about 5,000 people per month and houses 50-70 people in the Kansas City area. In 2011, they distributed over 1,500,000 pounds of food and clothing to those in need. Doug left an award-winning business after a vision from God about how bad things are and how much we all need to hurry. Since November 23, 2004 he's been pressing forward furiously toward the prize of seeing the people that SAY they love Jesus actually start ACTING like Jesus. He claims no denomination. No affiliation. No allegiance to any structure of man. He is a member of the Church at Liberty, Missouri, the first pre-denominational church in America.
