EXHILARATINGthat's the word that comes to mind whenever we have the chance to experience the highest roller coaster or hook into the biggest fish out on the ocean. It is the feeling of the challenge, the opportunity to do something, perhaps for the first time or the last time on earth. This book is designed to make you feel excited again about your walk with the Lord Jesus and your work in His kingdom on this earth. Until this point, you may have been going through the motions (like being on a merry-go-round), moving but not really going anywhere. Or maybe you jumped off the ride a long time ago. Stop Going to Church will move you out into the open streams again, where God can use you to do something amazing for Him, before your ride is over. Every one of us wants to leave a mark on this world. Each of us wants to know that what we have built with our lives will change people long after we leave. God wants to use us to do just that. But that simply won't happen if all we do is walk where everyone has walked. Your special ministry awaits you. Step out in faith, and let God do something really unique with your life. Trust Himtake the challenge and let this book get you moving in that direction!

Is there any chance that you may be feeling just as I did a few years ago? There was just something that didn't feel quite right about the manner in which the evangelical community was "doing" church. I was beginning to feel very uncomfortable with the seemingly ever-increasing quest for more and more entertaining worship techniques. In my opinion, the grandiose buildings associated with the ever-growing mega-churches, the showmanship, charismatic pastors, and well-polished praise bands didn't seem to be representative of Christ's original commands to His Disciples. I began a personal quest to find the truth concerning my apprehension. Here is what I found. Less than 70 years after Christ's return to Heaven, He sent a message through His Apostle and friend, John, back to seven key bodies of believers in Asia. In just this short amount of time, five of them had gone off-course. The message was short and sweet. All five received stern reproof, even though they were still "doing" church; unfortunately their way...not His. Wake up! Repent! Go back and do what you did at first, or I will disavow your claim as a representative of Me! We are now nearly 2000 years later. I wonder what His message would be to the key churches of our day. My fear is that unfortunately it would be quite similar. What did Jesus mean when He warned that they were to go back and "do what they did at first?" Obviously He was referring to the first church in Jerusalem. This book attempts to biblically examine the manner in which they operated, and see if there may be any resemblance to today's model. Journey with us back in time as we make that comparison together. Buckle in...it is a tough journey! L.R.Williams begun his personal relationship with Jesus Christ at age 29, and pastored his first traditional non-denominational church by age 35. After being prompted by the Holy Spirit to deeply examine contemporary church structure, as compared to the first church in Jerusalem, he found he could no longer "do" church as usual. Thus, Seekers was formed as a home-church outreach modeled solely upon the operation of that fledgling church in Acts. Pastor Williams is blessed to be a husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather; with a vision of assisting church leaders to also consider this type ministry.

As many--young people especially--leave the traditional church in droves, they often still long for a genuine Christian community in which to practice their faith and share their spiritual journeys with others. They want to be faithful but struggle to find a place where they flourish. Whether they've already left the church behind or are merely considering it, readers will find here both heartfelt encouragement and practical steps for finding or creating a community of faith that honors God and offers rest, love, and communion with other believers. Author Kelly Bean broadens our definition of church to include many alternative forms of Christian community. With true stories of those who have given up on church and what they're doing now, this book is also helpful for pastors and churchgoers to help them understand why people leave the church--and what might be done to help them stay.

How did Christ imagine church and faith? Did he imagine the Sunday-Christian or the wholly immersed believer? In this book, Bob Hostetler tells readers to QUIT GOING TO CHURCH, and renew their walk of faith. What drives people to enter the doors of churches every Sunday? It could be habit, living up to expectations, a sense of duty, or even guilt. People seem to be living "churchanity" rather than Christianity. This thought provoking and "pull-off-the-gloves" book is based on the premise that much of how we think and act, a great percentage of what we do these days as church-going people, bears only a slight resemblance to the way of Jesus and "the faith that was once for all delivered to the saints" (Jude 1:3). With titles like "Quit Going to Church" and "Quit Sharing Your Faith," each chapter issues an eyebrow-raising challenge, showing how many of us have misunderstood even distorted the Good News of Jesus and replaced Christianity with something else.

“Church is boring.” “It’s irrelevant.” “It’s full of hypocrites.” You’ve heard the excuses—now learn the real reasons men and boys are fleeing churches of every kind, all over the world, and what we can do about it. Women comprise more than 60% of the adults in a typical worship service in America. Some overseas congregations report ten women for every man in attendance. Men are less likely to lead, volunteer, and give in the church. They pray less, share their faith less, and read the Bible less. In Why Men Hate Going to Church, David Murrow identifies the barriers keeping many men from going to church, explains why it’s so hard to motivate the men who do attend, and also takes you inside several fast-growing congregations that are winning the hearts of men and boys. In this completely revised, reorganized, and rewritten edition of the classic book, with more than 70 percent new content, explore topics like: The increase and decrease in male church attendance during the past 500 years Why Christian churches are more feminine even though men are often still the leaders The difference between the type of God men and women like to worship The lack of volunteering and ministry opportunities for men The benefits men get from attending church regularly Men need the church but, more importantly, the church needs men. The presence of enthusiastic men is one of the surest predictors of church health, growth, giving, and expansion. Why Men Hate Going to Church does not call men back to church—it calls the church back to men.

Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we “dress up” for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, and choirs? This ground-breaking book, now in affordable softcover, makes an unsettling proposal: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is rooted, not in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles. Coauthors Frank Viola and George Barna support their thesis with compelling historical evidence and extensive footnotes that document the origins of modern Christian church practices. In the process, the authors uncover the problems that emerge when the church functions more like a business organization than the living organism it was created to be. As you reconsider Christ's revolutionary plan for his church—to be the head of a fully functioning body in which all believers play an active role—you'll be challenged to decide whether you can ever do church the same way again.

Jake Colsen, an overworked and disillusioned pastor, happens into a stranger who bears an uncanny resemblance (in manner) to the apostle John. A number of encounters with John as well as a family crisis lead Jake to a new understanding of what his life should be like: one filled with faith bolstered by a steady, close relationship with the God of the universe. Facing his own disappointment with Christianity, Jake must forsake the habits that have made his faith rote and rediscover the love that captured his heart when he first believed. Compelling and intensely personal, So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anything relates a man's rebirth from performance-based Christianity to a loving friendship with Christ that affects all he does, thinks, and says. As John tells Jake, "There is nothing the Father desires for you more than that you fall squarely in the lap of his love and never move from that place for the rest of your life."

Rogers adds another voice to the growing ranks of those who are rethinking what it means to be a follower of Jesus Christ in the 21st Century. Rogers calls for Christ-followers to abandon excluding traditions and attitudes, and to instead concentrate on being the Church in day to day life. (Christian)
