Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church

The early church started as a fringe, radical movement; today the church has become a large, bureaucratic institution. In the process, the modern church has lost much of its focus, power, and original intent--which has slowly deadened its impact on culture. Looking at the history and purpose of the early church as their guide, authors Wes Roberts and Glenn Marshall offer a renewed vision for the church--one in which the smaller church plays the lead role in serving communities and individuals as Christ did. Original Intent is not a how-to book to make churches--big or small--better; it is a treatise on where we are, how we got here, and how the church can meet the needs of the coming generations. By getting back to the core values of servanthood and character, Wes and Glenn remind pastors of the real reason to be passionate about ministry.Roberts, Wes is the author of 'Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church' with ISBN 9781576834077 and ISBN 1576834077.
