Church, for me, has become a feeling of sickness that isn't going away! The more I see in this church world I've lived in-now have been away from-and the journey I am on, the more I realize that church communities, and many Christians alike, have either lost sight of, or just blindly follow, their church/religion without understanding what the church is really supposed to be. Henceforth, that's why I've adopted my version of a popularized film catchphrase "I see church people" (if you've ever seen the movie Sixth Sense, this equates with what the basis of the movie is about: "I see dead people"). To put it simply, I firmly believe the church as we know it is becoming dead to society, and for many Christians as well. I believe all of this is leading most churches to the beginning of a dying church. Slow death by overchurching, overreaching, being overly busy-maintaining the machine of what this is becoming. We believe we are doing the right things, feeding our souls, self-medicating with song and message and then going home, waiting to do it all over again the following Sunday. We've created this false world that has taken the reality of what God intended, and made it this unreal, false way of living this so-called Christian life. We talk out of both sides of our mouths, contradicting ourselves in trying to convey a message that Jesus never intended. Jesus had a simple message that we've made complex, mainly because of theological knowledge that has infiltrated the mind of a generation. This theological knowledge has been handed down generation after generation into a tradition that less resembles Christ, and more resembles a Sadducee or Pharisee mind-set. We think we know something. Church, being the Body of Christ is not about Sunday Mornings. It's about "Serving The World Right Outside Our Door."I believe that this book pertains to all ages whether you're churched or not. But, I feel the locked in churched people, pastors, leaders, priest and so on are the ones that this will challenge the most. Specially those locked in tradition, familiarity, routine and sameness. Even though it will be challenging to all.

Pastors face a nearly impossible position! Even happy, healthy pastors struggle with pressures, pains, and fears unique to their position. If pastors were given an opportunity to speak honestly, openly, and anonymously about themselves, their families, and their churches, what would they say?What Pastors Wish Church Members Knew provides that opportunity. Based on anonymous and honest interviews and surveys, a national cross-section of hundreds of pastors speak out about their personal life, faith, health, wife, children, finances, greatest joys, frustrations, disappointments, greatest fears, and dreams. And you’ll learn how you can better help and encourage your pastor. This is insightful and encouraging reading for anyone who cares about the future of the church. This is a companion to the book What Women Wish Pastors Knew.

Could brain science be the key to spiritual formation? Why does true Christian transformation seem fleeting? And why does church often feel lonely, Christian community shallow, and leaders untrustworthy? For many Christians, the delight of encountering Christ eventually dwindles—and disappointment sets in. Is lasting joy possible? These are some of the questions Michel Hendricks has considered both in his experience as a spiritual formation pastor and in his lifetime as a Christian. He began to find answers when he met Jim Wilder—a neurotheologian. Using brain science, Wilder identified that there are two halves of the church: the rational half and the relational half. And when Christians only embrace the rational half, churches become unhealthy places where transformation doesn’t last and narcissistic leaders flourish. In The Other Half of Church, join Michel and Jim's journey as they couple brain science with the Bible to identify how to overcome spiritual stagnation by living a full-brained faith. You'll also learn the four ingredients necessary to develop and maintain a vibrant transformational community where spiritual formation occurs, relationships flourish, and the toxic spread of narcissism is eradicated.

"This book seeks to both encourage those who are serious about following Christ but who are struggling with same-sex attraction, and to challenge the church to lend a listening ear and a helping and welcoming hand. The stories in this book are told with pathos, honesty, and courage. We must all recognise that whatever our story or struggle with sin (and we all have struggles), God has chosen us to be His children so that we can be conformed to the likeness of His Son. The church should understand this and provide a safe redemptive space to all of us sinners, whatever our problem, surrounded by the sheltering canopy of God’s unchanging truth and abiding love." From the Foreword by Bishop Emeritus Dr Robert Solomon, The Methodist Church in Singapore

(Un)Certain: A Collective Memoir of Deconstructing Faith uncovers the courage and vulnerability of over 150 individuals from around the world as they navigate through their unravelling beliefs. Olivia Jackson weaves together stories of deeply committed believers who reached a breaking point with the Christian certainties and doctrines they once held dear. Exploring tales of abuse, exclusionary or harsh theologies, and a slow crumbling of conviction as interviewees share their journey towards a carefully considered expansion of faith, the book offers a glimpse into the nuanced and diverse experiences of those who reached the end of the road and dared to keep walking.
