| Publisher Description: Showing how future trends will have both a positive and a negative impact on the church and its ministry, Leonard Sweet provides unconventional, disturbing glimpses into the future that must be grasped by church leaders. Sweet tells us why the church is the last hope for saving our families, our cities, our businesses, and the earth. Issues addressed include: how to pursue a more effective, go and tell evangelism that reaches the cocooning culture; how to rekindle Christian imagination through sensuality, virtual reality, and energized prayer, music, or spiritual experience; what the church should do to enhance families and develop spiritual leadership among women and elders in the congregation; and, how the church can celebrate open house for all of God's people. |
