Description
Building a Bottom-Up Church - A guide to developing an authentic Christian community.
The top-down structured faith and church is the root of many of the problems that the worldwide church now faces. It redefines Christianity in a way which, while being based on the Bible, actually distances people from God. The alternative is what the author calls the "Bottom-Up" church, which is when faith is based on the gospel, not church-culture or Orthodoxy. This book describes how to build build a bottom-up church step by step, which involves building a gospel-based faith, applying that faith in relationships, building effective church groups, and developing ongoing church networks. Overall, this book challenges most of what we know as 'Christianity' and projects a practical way forward for both individuals and the emerging church community.
