What Others Say About This Book:
"Powerful and timely book"
This powerful and timely book, Powerless and Irrelevant: How society sees the Church and how to radically change that view, offers a deeply insightful and courageous examination of the Church's present spiritual crisis within times of hardship. The author reveals how the Church's perceived irrelevance isn't just because of a chaotic world, but because we've unknowingly mixed the Old and New Covenants together in ways that have led us to a misconception that drains our power and clarity on God's word.
It explains why Bible interest is rising yet church attendance is low, and explores a generation hungering for hope, truth and meaning behind what's being preached within our churches worldwide. The author unpacks this paradox with compassion and deep biblical insight.
The way theological truths are explained is both profound and easy to understand. It challenged me to rethink how I approach God not through performance, but through the fullness of grace offered in Christ.
A must-read for any Christian daring to ask, not just what the church should do - but what the church must become.
-James Hodgkin, Anglican Churches Worship Leader, London UK
About the Author:
Unsaved, materialistic and working in Saudi Arabia. That was the author's situation when God stepped in. The author carried with him - purely through habit - a Bible. One day in Saudi Arabia he started reading that Bible out of a genuine desire to understand it. God spoke to him through His Word, showing him he was lost - hell-bound. He surrendered to the sovereignty of God in his life. "...life in all its fullness" began.
