From two former pastors on how to step out of traditional church into relational Christianity. One of these pastors, Wayne Jacobsen, was the editor of the sensational book The Shack by William P. Young.
Book Review by Darlene Schwieger:
After reading So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore I have to say it will stretch you to have a paradiam shift. That word has been used alot recently. My experience when I first heard it was when I lived on the West Coast working at a Community College. I worked in a department where we retrained people being laid off from the wood products industry. These people went into the wood products from high school and after 30 or 40 years that's all they knew. It was a real blow for them and their families to get laid off. Our teacher's had to get them to think in a different direction. As long as they continued to think of themselves as wood products people they would continue to behave in that manner. They had to have a paradiam shift, a new style of thinking. This is what this book does, it stimulates you to think of what the Church is in a different way. This author with his unique method of bringing God's wisdom into the present day will touch you deep inside. If your tired of going to "Church" or doing "Church" you will be challenged to "Be the Church." You will enter into what Jesus had in mind when He said, " I will build the Church." Without this paradiam shift you will continue to go to "Church." Allow this book to motivate you to "Be the Church" and enter into a living relationship with our Father's family every day!
