Want to know what God's design for Church is?

This Spring Harvest book looks at the role of Church today

You'll see clear not only the mission of the Church, but your role within it

Church Actually is the theme of Spring Harvest 2012.

Church attendance in the west has declined in recent years, but decline has been accompanied by growth in spiritual exploration, a desire for spirituality, faith, even Jesus - all without the church. Experience, history and the New Testament suggest this desire is ill-founded. It is through the church, the Bible suggests, that the Kingdom comes. How can we find a wider vision of the Kingdom and the church's role?

Kelly explores four of the 'brilliant ideas' inherent in God's design of the church. God works through his people, and the church trains and equips; the church is Spirit-driven, and spiritual formation is central to God's mission; the church's task force transforms the world through acts of love and service; and, the church is the rainbow-clothed Bride of Christ, one global family, a reconciling model for the world.

    The Good Book Stall

    Average rating of0.0

    Gerard Kelly creates powerful, compelling pictures of God’s heartbeat for church. This title will undoubtedly gain great uptake through Spring Harvest circulation, and rightly so. It's singularly the freshest read on church in the market right now. The colour and vitality that it repaints for the often grey-palette experience that church life can evoke, is radical and precious. It has a rich usefulness as a reader, resource book and-or guide for small group usage. It is well researched, moving and brilliantly written. Kelly's poetic-theology will invite you into the dance of God’s Holy Spirit. Fresh and beautiful in its invitation into the life of God. Bright, vibrant and powerful. Top class!
