Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Something is wrong in the American church, and the surveys have been documenting it for decades. Baptisms declining. Biblical literacy declining. Evangelism declining. Church attendance declining. And yet the buildings are still full, the programs are still running, and the sermons are still… being preached.The prevailing response has been a call for revival. Pastor Roy argues that revival is the wrong prescription - because you cannot revive what was never genuinely alive.In Stranger in the Household: When the Church Needs Salvation More Than Revival, Pastor Roy introduces a term for the person the consumer church has been producing for decades: the Identity Hybrid. This is the person who has attended faithfully, completed every program, served on every team, and still carries a persistent hollowness beneath all of it - a foreigner who has learned the language fluently but has never been issued the passport. He is not a hypocrite. He is not a backslider. He is the sincere and faithful product of a system that enrolled him before he was converted, equipped him before he was born again, and handed him an identity he never died to receive.Drawing on nearly thirty years of pastoral ministry, Stranger in the Household traces the institutional and homiletical shifts that produced the Identity Hybrid, diagnoses four distinct archetypes that the consumer church created, and makes the case that the solution was never a better program, a more relevant sermon, or a more welcoming atmosphere. The solution is the recovery of the apostolic sequence - Evangelism, Conversion, Discipleship - in that order, every time, without exception.The book moves through three parts. Part One holds up the mirror: how the Church Growth Movement's consumer model reversed the Great Commission and removed the Evangelist from the disciple-making process. Part Two opens the door: the Luke 9 funeral, the new identity Christ gives, and the image of God being restored in the genuine New Creation. Part Three restores the hand-off: the Greatest Commandment as the Discipler's first lesson, the new identity in Christ as the antithesis of the four archetypes, and the three movements of the discipled life - Return, Pursue, Reproduce.Stranger in the Household is written for the pastor exhausted by a model that measures everything except what matters. It is written for the discipler who has been handing the tools of the New Man to people who have never died. And it is written for the person, surrounded by celebration, whispering something they have never said out loud.If the church does not need revival, what does it need?Not revival. Salvation. And then discipleship. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from our UK warehouse or from our Australian or US warehouses, depending on stock availability.
