Who Moved My Church? - A Story About Discovering Purpose in a Changing Culture

by Mike Nappa, Mike Nappa

How would people respond if they showed up at church one Sunday morning only to discover someone or something had actually, physically moved it? Undoubtedly, they would go out and find it! And that's what four unforgettable characters from Who Moved My Church? set out to do! But how they go about locating it and then how they respond—and what they do—once they find it is so different, you'd never guess they attend the same church. Ultimately, Nappa's parable will spur church attendees to tackle one of the enduring questions of Christian history: How is the Church to interact with culture? The question is all the more pressing for pastors and laity in light of dramatic and rapid changes taking place in society on what feels like a daily basis. Humorous, entertaining, and thought provoking, Who Moved My Church? will be the center of discussion in homes, small groups, Sunday-school classes and churches everywhere.

Reviews

[Carl Sheppard · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very easy read! The story could be the same at every church, it's actually an awakening that we all need regardless of what denomination we claim to be. As you read the story you will put other people in your church into one of the categories found in this book as well as identifying with a category yourself. I agree with the other reviewer, "all Christians should read this book"!!!

[Micah Reese · Rating 5 out of 5]

Who moved my church is a modern parable about different groups of people within a church and what it looks like when each group is in charge. The book challenges the reader to look at themselves and if their pratices are truly bringing glory to Christ, have intended consequences, or are glorifying the self. In the last chapter, the book does offer hope by reminding the reader of the grace that allows us to return to Christ and change our pratices so that we can truly honor Him out of love.
