About this title

Synopsis

Do people look, with any expectation, to the church for salvation from the alienating frustrations of modern life, let alone the ultimate alienation of death? In our time, the belief in the centrality of the church for salvation has almost totally disappeared. The growing number of Spiritual but not Religious present a challenge to those who are active in the church. This book recognizes the weaknesses in the church but provides scriptural evidence of how God chooses to work through imperfect people and communities to effect salvation. Having examined the truth that God's power is made perfect in our weakness, the book provides a five-part seminar to build confidence among members to engage in conversation with those who have been separated from the church but have a spiritual hunger for something more. While not excusing the church for its failures, it helps clergy educate their membership in how to build the church and testify to how God's saving grace is effective in the very nature of the church in our time. It is time for Christians to regain their confidence and speak out about the Good News that God continues to offer our world through the Body of Christ. We need not be shy about that conversation. We have a Story to Tell to the Nations.
