A New Model of the Authentic Church

<p>In American church culture worldly benchmarks of achievement have all but blinded us to the true purpose of the body of Christ. A New Model of the Authentic Church may be one of the most significant books written on the American church in decades. It not only offers a scholarly analysis of the current state of the church but provides practical solutions.</p><p>The book offers a brilliantly well-developed model for how to make church work more effectively. If implemented it would provide a much needed paradigm shift in how we do church in America. The books main contribution is that it provides a workable framework not only on how to birth new missionally minded churches but how to reform existing ones back to the Authentic Church of the gospels.</p><p>If its principles are taken and applied the book could alter the landscape of the American church which will be a breath of fresh theological air to a church that has lost its way in the new millennium.</p><p>The purpose of this book is not to just challenge and change the status quo; its goal is to bring a real lasting transformation to how we do church. The aspiration in writing this book is for it to be seen and read not just as a critical assessment of the condition of the American church but as a practical blueprint that will provide much renewed hope and purpose to the contemporary American church the bride of Christ.</p>
