New research from churches in eighty-six countries around the world reveals that, throughout the last few years, there have been dramatic shifts in Christianity. In this book, Christian A. Schwarz not only presents these findings for the first time, but also pleads for twelve practical reforms that could unshackle the relevancy of the Christian faith, restoring it as a fascinating, transformative pursuit for people in our time. It is the surprising thesis of this book that most keys to the relevance of Christianity are to be found in biblical insights that many non-Christians are longing for, while wide parts of Christianity have not yet discovered them. The book is a call for change. It shows how the shifts in this epoch of history have the power to anchor and expand our spirituality and service to others. Your three main benefits: 1. Understand the background of the relevance crisis of Christianity 2. Learn 12 practical responses that will dramatically increase the relevance of your church 3. Apply new ways of interaction between Christians and non-Christians
