In the world, not of it!

Christianity is meant to be a whole new way of living. Phil Buechler describes the radical difference in world view, actions and attitudes. Each point is illustrated with experience from church planting and teaching around the world, often in places where secret police action and persecution are alive and well. How Russian Christians reached a meeting in Gregori's barn, what happened when a spy become converted and then met an assassin, and how angels protected a native pastor are only a few of the reports. Phil provides practical advice about hearing from God, walking in holiness and wholeness, and coping with challenges from unbelievers. In 14 lively chapters he challenges Christians to leave their ghettos and influence the world. "I believe it is imperative that we recover the cultural mandate that is in the Great Commission...It is the application of a Biblical world view to eery aspect, arena and sphere of influence in life," the author says. For group study the editor has provided discussion questions for each chapter at the back of the book.
