Historical Drift is a book for leaders. As a pastor, missionary, professor and president of one of Canada's fastest growing denominations, Arnold Cook defines historical drift as the tendency of churches to, over time, move way from their original moorings, with the result that vision dims, core values shift and passion fades.The idea of historical drift is not new. John Wesley decried the continual decay of pure religion, and one unidentified bishop suggested that all Christian organizations should be scrapped every 100 years.But why focus on the darker side of the Church? With no ambivalence about the triumphant future of the Church -- capital C, Cook's concern is for the earthly reflection -- churches, small c. What options are there for survival in the seemingly unstoppable currents that push and pull them?Obviously, one response, notes Cook, would be to celebrate drift, to bring on the new wineskins. That option, in his opinion, conflicts with certain basic scriptural ideas. The other response would be to recognize the eventuality and to set in place those things that would impede such a current.Cook's call is for leaders who understand their times will move Christ's Church forward with strength and spiritual integrity.Generously illustrated with vignettes from around the world, Historical Drift presents a thorough, scholarly yet realistic perspective on how to define, diagnose, detect, impede and reverse historical drift that Church leaders of every level will welcome.

A Christianity Today 2015 Book Award Winner Is your organization in danger of Mission Drift? Without careful attention, faith-based organizations drift from their founding mission. It's that simple. It will happen. Slowly, silently, and with little fanfare, organizations routinely drift from their purpose, and many never return to their original intent. Harvard and the YMCA are among those that no longer embrace the Christian principles on which they were founded. But they didn't drift off course overnight. Drift often happens in small and subtle ways. Left unchecked, it eventually becomes significant. Yet Mission Drift is not inevitable. Organizations such as Compassion International and InterVarsity have exhibited intentional, long-term commitment to Christ. Why do so many organizations--including churches--wander from their mission, while others remain Mission True? Can drift be prevented? In Mission Drift, HOPE International executives Peter Greer and Chris Horst tackle these questions. They show how to determine whether your organization is in danger of drift, and they share the results of their research into Mission True and Mission Untrue organizations. Even if your organization is Mission True now, it's wise to look for ways to inoculate yourself against drift. You'll discover what you can do to prevent drift or get back on track and how to protect what matters most. "No organization is exempt from the danger of drifting away from its original mission. In Mission Drift, Peter and Chris provide solid guidance for remaining laser-focused on core values--from the board level to daily organizational culture. This book is a timely message for any organization working hard to remain Mission True." --Wess Stafford, president-emeritus, Compassion International "Peter Greer and Chris Horst have identified one of the deepest challenges any leader faces: how to ensure that an organization stays true to its mission, especially when that mission becomes countercultural." --Andy Crouch, executive editor, Christianity Today "Essential reading for twenty-first-century believers if we are to gain new vision, unity, and strength. Mission Drift is spine straightening, mind clearing, and courage inspiring. This book is true-north wisdom for leaders--and a gift of hope for the world God loves." --Kelly Monroe Kullberg, founder, The Veritas Forum and author, Finding God Beyond Harvard "Many of us in leadership have learned--often painfully--that our mission needs to be built into every aspect of our organization, from leadership to receptionist, from hiring to implementation. We can't afford not to follow the lessons in this valuable book." --Richard Stearns, president, World Vision U.S. and author, The Hole in Our Gospel "Keeping an eternal perspective is essential in our work. Mission Drift gives a clear message inspiring and challenging us to intentionally keep Christ at the center of all efforts." --David Green, founder and CEO, Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. "Written with clarity, boldness, and urgency, the authors provide insight into and examples of the causes and solutions to drift using the stories of real organizations...A must-read! Recommend this book to every business and church leader."--CBA Retailers+Resources "This book is a must-read for leaders, easy to read, practical, engaging and inspirational. The principals outlined not only apply to major corporations, but also to any organization, church and even to one's own personal life. Mission Drift . . . will be well worth the effort and time, and you will find yourself wanting to begin implementing what you've learned to safeguard your organization from drifting away from its mission."--Foursquare.org

Without proper instrumentation, it doesn't take long to drift off course. And not since the Protestant Reformation has the Christian church been so at risk for capsizing. Postmodernism and the church's response to it have produced a hesitation... and in some cases, an outright disdain for the notion that there is only one true God, and one way of salvation. In an attempt to placate rather than preach, more and more churches and institutions are adopting a stance that is no stance at all. Fatal Drift chronicles this slow surrender to the spirit of the age, and the inevitable trajectory of such accommodation. Drawing from over three decades of pastoral experience, Jim Jenkins shows that the issue is not new, nor should it surprise us. He traces the former battles and staggering prophetic warnings of Francis Schaeffer, Charles Spurgeon, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer, among others. From his experiences as a Navy chaplain, Dr. Jenkins demonstrates the critical need for trustworthy instruments while navigating changing conditions. In the name of tolerance, today's activists attack the reliability and changeless nature of Scripture. Christian leaders loosen their mooring to the guiding truths of the Bible, in favor of extra-biblical sources that make their message more palatable. The resulting ambiguity is wreaking havoc and leading many to a shipwreck of their faith. John Warwick Montgomery said, "The church will remain ineffective as long as it has as its spokesmen the people who have been falling all over each other to be 'relevant.' Ages of faith are not marked by dialogue but by proclamation." This is a book about absolutes, in a day when the idea of absolute truth is unpopular. And it's essential reading for anyone who hopes to avoid losing their way in a sea of false teaching and wayward doctrine.
