OUTCRY declares that local churches are at the heart of Christianity and you can make a difference in your community. The OUTCRY tours were born out of a desire to be the lights and sounds of the greatest movement in the worldthe local church. While studies and critics may indicate a decline of the local church, Ryan Romeo's OUTCRY attests that the movement is only increasing. It's time we band together to empower the local church to influence the surrounding culture. It's you. It's us. Stand behind the church Jesus gave His life for. The part you play in your local church matters. You are an integral part of bringing God's story to all corners of the world. God's church isn't finished! Her best days are ahead.
There is always messiness in humanity. This is also true in the collective church, however, the goal of The Church is the gospel of Christ reaching into and through the messiness of our humanity and need for community.
This easy read will help you reconsider any disappointing view you may have of church as an institution and inspire hope for the collective community for the common cause of Christ.
I wasn't familiar with the Outcry tour before I read this book, so I learned about it while reading the book which is ultimately about the local church and how we can make a difference in our community, no matter how big or small the church is.
At the end of each chapter is a short passage written by someone in the Christian music industry. The book is an interesting read, and the author does a great job of showing the need for churches to get involved in their community. I found it an easy and fast read that kept my attention, and it was refreshing to see someone giving credit to small churches as being as important in this as the larger churches.
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
