Church Scattered: Divine Judgement-Absolutely Last Days-Maybe
I lived and survived the decade in American of the 1960’s. Things were really bad then and many days it felt like surely things can’t
All Christian leaders are asking, "What’s next?"
Church Scattered provides a blueprint to answer that question both personally and professionally.
Here’s what today’s leaders are saying about the book:
The landscape of the American Church is rapidly changing. In order to meet the needs of an ever-changing world, we don’t need to figure out how to be more relevant, but rather to go back to the Scripture and look at the biblical blueprint for how to take the gospel to every tribe, tongue, and nation. Dan Greer has written a timely and thought provoking piece that will help pastors and church leaders equip the everyday believer to live on mission and see the gospel advance through a rapidly changing world.
Dan Greer understands the church and the marketplace and has put his finger on some natural tensions between the two. In Church Scattered Dan grapples with the role of Christians in the church—Church Gathered—and then in the marketplace— Church Scattered. Thankfully, when many observers are diminishing the value of the local church in the name of cultural relevance, Dan doesn’t do that. Indeed, he maintains that the Church Gathered and the Church Scattered are “one church with the same mission.” I commend this book to everyone as a primer on discovering and maximizing our calling as followers of Christ.
In this intentionally disruptive book, author and leadership development consultant Dan Greer clearly depicts how the cultural forces of change are negatively impacting the lives of individual Christians and the mission of the church. In post-Christian America, the church is in serious decline and unless a transformational leadership approach is taken—both in our homes and in our churches—that trend will only get worse. While the message of our faith is sacred, Greer says, our methods are not.
