Liberating the Church: The Ecology of Church and Kingdom

by Howard A. Snyder

The Church gets into trouble whenever it thinks it is in the church business rather than the Kingdom business. In the church business, people are concerned with Kingdom activities, all human behavior and everything God has made . . . . Church people think about how to get people into the church; Kingdom people think about how to get the church into the world.

[Lisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

So many books I’ve read on this theme of the church living out the Kingdom of God. But this one is the oldest and just shows there aren’t really tons of new and trendy ideas. Things repeat themselves!
