The Church Is the Only Hope for Renewing and Redeeming Your Community Your church is meant to be a conduit of hope and healing, redemption and renewal for your neighborhood. Is your church equipped and ready for this important work?

This book is your blueprint to grow your church by helping your members turn outward. God intends for the church to be his open hand extended to the people in your community.

Like most people, when I first heard about postmodernism, I thought it was absolutely the most ridiculous and ludicrous worldview I had ever encountered. Initially, it sounded like just another meaningless mind game hatched by some intellectual types hidden away in an ivory tower somewhere. However, I've quickly learned that postmodernism is a reaction to the most profound spiritual and philisophical crises of our time and very indicative of the spiritual status of contemporary North America. After discovering the implications of a postmodern worldview, I was frustrated to discover that the vast majority of ministry resources, especially in the areas of church growth and evangelism were not geared towards reaching a postmodern culture. During this same period, over a burger and fries, some teen-agers from my church asked me, "What exactly is postmodernism and what should we be doing about it?" Minus the cheeseburger and fries, this book answers these two pertinent questions.

Church Together is a Christian leadership book designed to give pastors, church leaders, and church members a working plan to overcome the greatest underlying threat to the church today, individualism, through five relationships of surrender which correlate to the five core values of the Church of We. Part One examines the three rotten fruits of individualism within the Church of Me—consumerism, pragmatism, and the extremes of legalism and liberalism—and how to spot each of these problems. Part Two offers a solution on what it will take for churches to make a healthy transition from the Church of Me to the Church of We. Church Together, for this reason, gives churches a manageable plan to defy the individualistic spirit of the age as they become the Church of We in the Age of Me.

According to the author, America has more unchurched people than the entire populations of all but 11 of the world's 194 nations! Based on research among several thousand unchurched people, the book discusses their values, attitudes, beliefs, religious practices, demographics, life goals, and spiritual expectations. Using additional research conducted among churches that have had great success in attracting and retaining unchurched people, the author also outlines perspectives and effective strategies for churches that wish to reach those who avoid churches. Understanding what makes the unchurched tick will give you a better chance of relating to them in meaningful ways.
