Your Church Is Too Safe: Why Following Christ Turns the World Upside-Down
“Don’t read this book without preparing to be disturbed in all the right ways. If you love the local church, like so many of us do, you know there are days when you want to shout with joy, exhilarated by its beauty and power.  And there are many other days when you wonder why God would ever choose the likes of us to usher in his kingdom because of how petty, divisive, shortsighted, judgmental, mediocre, and apathetic we can be.  Mark Buchanan calls us out of our safe zones of comfort to a vision that is transformational---and somewhat terrifying. It’s the only kind of church that can change the world. So dig in, wrestle with these biblical truths, and commit yourself to building a community that is anything but safe.”  -- Nancy Beach, , author of Gifted to Lead: The Art of Leading as a Woman in the Church
