Reimagining Church: Pursuing the Dream of Organic Christianityby Frank Viola Christians are leaving organized religion in droves. They are not leaving because they are falling away from Christ. They are leaving because they want more of Christ! But where are they going? Some end up in desperate isolation for years. Others end up returning to the church system they left. Still others search for a first century style organic expression of the church. Because most Christians have never experienced organic church life, they have no point of reference from which to begin. So they end up reproducing the institutional church in a living room. They basically come full circle and end up back in the institutionalism but call it a "house church." Frank Viola and George Barna wrote a book titled "Pagan Christianity" and it was published earlier this year. This work pointed out where and how many of our church practices came into being. This book is opening many people's eyes to the fact that most of what happens in the traditional church system is just not scriptural. A new book written by Frank Viola was just released as a "sequel" to "Pagan Christianity." It is called "Reimagining Church". This book very skillfully addresses the problems that are exposed in "Pagan Christianity." It answers the major question of: "Okay, so you have left the institutional church . . . now what?" Frank is qualified to answer this question for two reasons. First, he is an excellent bible teacher and brings to light what God's answer is to the question. Second, Frank has been living in and planting organic churches for twenty years. So perhaps you are considering leaving the institutional church. Or maybe you are one of those who have already left. Do you want some form of church that is squarely based on the tenets of scripture? Are you looking for freedom to function as a member of His Body? Are you looking for Christ Himself to be the center, life, and head of the church? If you have answered "yes" to these questions, then "Reimagining Church" is definitely for you. And if you have not already read "Pagan Christianity," you will want to read that one as well. For more information on this book and order page, click here. |
