Synopsis

World-renowned pollster George Barna has the numbers, and they indicate a revolution is already taking place within the Church—one that will impact every believer in America. Committed, born-again Christians are exiting the established church in massive numbers. Why are they leaving? Where are they going? And what does this mean for the future of the Church? Using years' worth of research data, and adhering to an unwavering biblical perspective, Barna predicts how this revolution will impact the organized church, how Christ's body of believers should react, and how individuals who are considering leaving (or those who have already left) can respond. For leaders working for positive change in the church and for believers struggling to find a spiritual community and worship experience that resonates, Revolution is here. Are you ready?

About this title

From the Back Cover:

Millions of believers have moved beyond the established church . . . and have chosen to be the church instead.
Research by renowned pollster George Barna points to a hidden revolution―one that will impact every Christian believer in America. Millions of committed Christ followers, looking for more of God, have stopped attending church on Sunday mornings. Why are they leaving? Where are they going? And what does this mean for the future of the church?

In this groundbreaking book, Barna examines the state of the church today―and compares it to the biblical picture of the church as God intended it to be. He documents how and why a new band of devout “Revolutionaries” is abandoning the local church building while attempting to become the church that Christ commissioned us to be.

Revolution will challenge you with

• straightforward biblical guidelines for the church
• seven core passions of a Revolutionary
• a daring redefinition of the church as we know it.

Maybe you’re afraid of the changes to come. Maybe you’ve been waiting for this moment to arrive. Either way, the Revolution is here.
