How should the church respond to the changing cultural and societal changes going on around it? Should it reject the historical traditions that served the early Christian church, or should it turn a blind eye to the changes happening in modern society? Neither, as Cassandra D. Carkuff Williams advocates, it should, and it must recover and reclaim our foundations and reinterpret them in light of present-day realities. In “Learning the Way: Reclaiming...

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.
Book Preview: #1 I do not understand why God created the world this way. It seems like God is playing games with us. God seems to have hidden holiness and wholeness in a secret place where only the humble will find it.
#2 People who have moved from seeming success to seeming success rarely understand success at all, except a very limited version of it. People who fail to do it right,...

In the 30 years since Dr Francis Schaeffer's The Great Evangelical Disaster showed how what was supposed to be 'the Bible-believing evangelical church' was largely becoming ineffectual and abandoned by God as a result of becoming increasingly dominated by a new 'super-spirituality'. Peter C Glover's The Great Evangelical Disaster Revisited not only shows how evangelicals failed entirely to heed Schaeffer's warning but identifies those chiefly responsible...

Doug Bixby knows that many of us have had enough of the liberal vs. conservative battles in the church. In “The Honest to God Church”, Bixby demonstrates how these extremes have distracted us from our true calling as conduits for God's grace-both individually and as congregations. Many churches see themselves as "okay," while everyone outside the church is "not okay." These churches embrace an ethic of perfection rather than love. Often, they...

How do we reconcile the need to create safe places for worship and community with a theology of welcome and inclusion?
Most houses of worship know they need a safety plan, but leadership often resists the tough conversations of restricting access and locking more doors. This seems contrary to proclaiming that church is a welcoming, open place for all. There are books, manuals, guides, and articles advising how to create a safety plan for faith-based...

The author attempts to fill what seems a strange and significant gap in the literature of the church. Writers in Christian doctrine seem to neglect the obvious need for inclusion in their writing of the teaching of Jesus in His earthly ministry. The defining text for theology should be in John 14:9, when Jesus tells Philip, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." Most books in theology either ignore this text altogether or give it very small...

What the Spirit is Saying to the Church is an apocalyptic view from the letters to the seven churches in the book of Revelation that begins its message to the church admonishing her to return to her first love, which she has abandoned. The author contends that this first love requirement demands a redirection of priorities for the Twenty-First-Century Church-in-the-Black-Experience. It demonstrates how, for the love of Christ, she must move beyond...
