Researchers have uncovered the following three trends: First, distrust of institutions, including the church, is at an all-time high. Second, young people raised in the church are leaving at alarming rates and not returning. Third, loneliness and social isolation are at pandemic levels. What's the connection? It appears that an entire generation is starving for the very thing the church is called to provide but has chosen to look for it elsewhere. Why is this happening? Following the model set by What If Jesus Was Serious?--short readings and engaging illustrations--What If Jesus Was Serious about the Church? looks at what the Bible really says about the church, its purpose, and the impact of its modern captivity to consumer values. Rather than an event, a building, or an institution, the New Testament calls the church to be a community living in communion with God and one another for the sake of the world.

Brilliant booklet. I loved that it is simple, to the point and understandable while being enjoyable with memorable amusing anecdotes. I bought several books to give to friends this Christmas
The Missing Peace: How Christmas Brings the Calm We Crave

Pastors, BUY this book!
Hands down one of the best books I've ever read as a pastor. It applies the gospel deeply and beautifully to the heart. An enjoyable yet pentrating read. Rewards with every re-read.
Searching for Grace
Nathanael Small
A very useful tool to live a more centred life...
...I've used lots of different journals and planners throughout my life, and am currently using this one along with three others as they all serve different purposes.
The daily, weekly and monthly rhythms serve to keep me grounded and anchored, ensuring my focus for that period of time is on Christ and His Kingdom.
I especially appreciate the daily structure, which takes you from Scripture (I use YouVersion's verse of the day), to pray, to thankfulness, to focus for the day.
A bargain at this price - well worth the investment!
The Resilient Rhythms Journal

VALUE!
A very conveniently sized copy of the complete NIV Bible, this is importantly a BLACK LETTER EDITION, essential for those with colour vision issues. These are not easy to find so this one was a delight. The price, though a secondary consideration, was also a lovely surprise.
