It’s time. Time to awake, time to arise, time to move.

This isn’t yet another book calling the Church to arise using unrealistic, triumphalist language. Neither is it a critique of everything that is wrong with today’s Church. Rather, it’s an urgent prophetic cry to a very powerful but slumbering giant – the Church of Christ. It is time to realise our identity and rise to become God’s agency to deliver His love to a world in desperate need.

This is an honest, positive, provocative, hope-filled, Spirit-inspired rallying call to revival; for God’s people to focus on what really matters – because the Church is still God’s Plan-A for His greater purposes in the world.

Often when the enemy is plotting the Church’s destruction, God is getting it ready for a great resurrection. If you and your church have tried everything and are weary of old models of church that bear no fruit, read Sleeping Giantand be inspired to reconnect your heart with God’s heart, passion and vision.

“A wonderful book … I pray it will serve as a wake-up call to all of us.” – Dr RT Kendall

“Tommy has a joyful enthusiasm for the Christian life which is infectious … the Holy Spirit is so powerfully at work in his life and ministry.” – Nicky Gumbel

“Tommy writes ‘lived’ truths here rather than untried theorising … this book could fan into flames the fortunes of God’s people once more. With a real urgency, we need the giant to awake.” – Rev Kenny Borthwick
