Simon Jones examines our struggles with church and offers a vision for creating a truly Jesus-centred church. Why do people struggle with church? And how can we use those struggles to create churches that are worthy of Jesus? This is a book for those who've given up on church, those looking for reasons to stay and those who love and lead churches. Can we build a better body? Simon Jones thinks so. How about you? During the decade of evangelism, a million people ran out of reasons to bother with church. The frightening trend is continuing in this century and it needs to be stopped. 'Challenging and liberating. Rob Parsons 'If in future years the local and national church is to 'stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the gospel', then we must hear the challenges of this book.' Rico Tice
