Inhaltsangabe:

A back-to-the-basics look at what it means to be the church defined by the New Testament rather than by culture or tradition. Suggests that the customs, patterns, and structures of our churches may actually be barriers to God's purposes.

Von der hinteren Coverseite:

Special performances, attractive worship centers, and professional clergy are important to the success of churches today. But as the rush of activities continues to grow and the corresponding crush of administration consumes more time and energy, pastors, church leaders, and ministry students find themselves asking, Why do we do what we do? Why does church have to be a burden?

From the Ground Up offers a compelling challenge to local churches to measure all programs and structures in light of God s blueprint for ekklesia in Scripture. Its practical insights bring a much-needed focus on the scriptural foundation and church structures that will enliven and liberate both members and leaders.

This is must reading for pastors in general and church planters in particular.

It is quite amazing how a small book like this can carry such big ideas, powerful enough to make a significant impact in today s church.

From the Ground Up can serve as a refreshing checkup for leaders to assess vital signs of church life or as a foundations checklist for church planters.
