Your Church Is Too Safe: Why Following Christ Turns the World Upside-Down

By Mark Buchanan

Drawing insights from his study of the book of Acts, Buchanan challenges churches to “turn the world upside-down”—to be both good news and bad news, an aroma and a stench – a disruptive force to whoever or whatever opposes the Kingdom of God, and a healing and liberating power to those who seek it.

Oohh–I like the note of holy militancy! I always appreciate Mark’s insights. This promises to be a good one.
