The Vanishing Evangelical: Saving the Church from Its Own Success by Restoring What Really Matters
The evangelical church is in flux--and not for the better.Rather than speaking to our culture with a unique, prophetic voice, we have adapted to the culture and lost our vitality. With a pastor's heart, Calvin Miller examines some of the influences contributing to this state, including an obsession with size, the individualizing of belief, a "small commission," lifeless worship, weakened orthodoxy, and the deadening effects of technology. In response, he calls each of us to a personal recovery of spiritual passion and spiritual discipline, zeal for the mission of God, commitment to community, and staying rooted in biblical orthodoxy.
