The Provocative Church

In a growing "spiritual but not religious" culture, many faithful Christians are asking, “What does all this mean?” and “Why does the Church matter?" In this lively book, Graham Tomlin presents a compelling path for transformation into provocative churches, places that joyfully welcome all to celebrate and honor the kingdom of God.<br><br>Offering a practical theology of evangelism and the local church, The Provocative Church makes the case that people will be drawn to Christian life and the Church when they observe something provocative, attractive, and intriguing happening. Christians are not meant just to try and do good, be nice, and help the world work a little better. They are instead to act as signposts to God’s kingdom, glimpsed in this world through the arrival of the king, Christ Jesus, who makes all things different and new.
