Book Review: The Face of the Church is Changing
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a groundbreaking book. George Barna, who is esteemed by the evangelical Christian world, lays it all on the line and the numbers reveal the sad truth that the present form of the traditional church is not getting the job done. It's failing to change lives and it's failing to influence the culture that surrounds it.
There is a revolution happening and it has to with the changing form of the church. Those Christians who are tied to the status quo will resist it. Those who want more of God, no matter what it costs or where it leads, will welcome it.
Barna does a great job building his case by showing how the present form of church is failing and why. He then discusses the key features of every revolution and explains that the Christian faith is experiencing one in our time. In the next 20 years, the face of the church will change in some major ways.
I recommend this book along with the follow up books, "Pagan Christianity?," where Barna traces how the traditional church got its present form and why it should be questioned, and "Reimagining Church," which presents a fresh vision of the church based on the Bible.
These three books make a great set for revolutionaries young and old.
Summary of Revolution
World-renowned pollster George Barna has the numbers, and they indicate a revolution is already taking place within the Church--one that will impact every believer in America. Committed, born-again Christians are exiting the established church in massive numbers. Why are they leaving? Where are they going? And what does this mean for the future of the Church? Using years' worth of research data, and adhering to an unwavering biblical perspective, Barna predicts how this revolution will impact the organized church, how Christ's body of believers should react, and how individuals who are considering leaving (or those who have already left) can respond. For leaders working for positive change in the church and for believers struggling to find a spiritual community and worship experience that resonates, Revolution is here. Are you ready?General Books
