A profoundly challenging exploration of the modern church’s proclamation of the gospel. It examines an element of the gospel that has been largely ignored or under-emphasised since the Reformation and which has had a profound impact on the kind of disciples that the modern church is producing. One reviewer commented: “Every church pastor, preacher and Christian should read this book! It has transformed my understanding of the gospel.”

This book highlights a crisis of leadership within the modern church; not an absence of leadership, but a proliferation of the wrong kind of leadership. The modern church has departed from the collaborative leadership principles of the New Testament and has adopted a secular business model that is undermining the very essence of what it means to be God’s people. This book points the way back to being the mutually accountable body of Christ that God intends his church to be. It calls the church to radically re-think the roles of clergy and laity and return to the biblical principles laid down by the New Testament church. It calls for a culture shift that will not be easy. This is a little book with BIG ideas. Are you ready to be challenged?

This book provides intelligent answers to the common questions and objections that are often roadblocks in people’s journey towards faith. Does God exist? If so, how do I find Him? Why does He seem to be hiding? If God wants people to believe in Him, why doesn’t He make Himself more obvious? If God is so good, why is there so much suffering in the world? What sort of narcissistic God eternally tortures people for not loving Him? Is the Bible reliable? Is the biblical account of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus a myth? What about evolution? How can God permit abuse and religious violence? This book is a must for every Christian who wants to be better equipped to defend and share their faith.
