… YOU CANNOT UNSEE.

Endorsements
Jeff Christopherson writes Once You See from a unique vantage point, as someone who has led the largest church-planting network in North America and is now leading a denomination in Canada. What is presented here as missiological fiction is close to our future reality, especially as it pertains to the urgency of our mission in North America. This is captivating storytelling that masterfully weaves the themes required to lead the church into the future. —ED STETZER, dean and professor, Wheaton College, Illinois
Jeff Christopherson has an unusual capacity to see things others miss. He relentlessly gets to the root of the problem. His conclusions may shock, enlighten, inspire, or offend you, but once you read this captivating book, you will never view the church the same way again. —RICHARD BLACKABY, president, Blackaby Ministries International, Atlanta; author, Experiencing God and The Ways of God
Jeff Christopherson shows us what it looks like to resist the temptations of the Western church and live instead as kingdom people under the beautiful reign of Christ. Presented in a lively narrative, Once You See is a book about kingdom ethics for those who need to see what it could look like, not just read the theory. The list of seven temptations and kingdom correctives are worth the price of admission alone. —MICHAEL FROST, Morling College, Sydney
In Once You See, Jeff Christopherson uses the intriguing medium of story to encourage, instruct, and admonish the Western church to reconsider how it functions and how it intends to move forward in this global era. Fascinating! I loved this book! I could hardly put it down. —LINDA BERGQUIST, church planting catalyst, North American Mission Board; author and coauthor of three books and two ebooks
Once You See is one of those rare books where you anticipate the finish, but you don’t want it to end. In a heart-grabbing, present-day story, with roots two thousand years old, Jeff Christopherson blends prophetic imagination, rebuke, hope, and redemption into a vision-bearing narrative that skillfully unwraps Jesus’ intention for his church and then makes you want to become part of the story. —LANCE FORD, author, UnLeader and The Starfish and The Spirit
