Many Christians all over the world have become dissatisfied with existing forms of church. If you know in your heart that God has something better, and you want to go "hard out" for it, you need to read this book. It offers a radical vision, based on the scriptures, that will stir your heart and explain God’s purposes for his people in these times. The book contains several unique insights.

• Relationships are the heart of the church.
• Community is essential and practical for all Christians.
• The early believers were all together. Modern Christians drive to church.
• As Christians get serious about sharing their possessions, a simple lifestyle will start to emerge.
• Plurality of leadership is basic to the New Testament.
• The ascension ministries are roles of elders, not high-powered leaders or itinerant ministers.
• The modern pastor/leader does not exist in the New Testament.
• Pastor is not a title of a leader. Pastoring is something that elders do.
• Discipling takes place in relationships, not in meetings.
• A prophet is just an elder who sees things in black and white.
• The modern pastor/leader model has created a desperate shortage of real pastoring in the modern church.
• Prophets and pastors must submit to each other.
• The best elders should be sent out as apostles.
• Apostles exercise authority looking back to those who sent them out.
• The Kingdom of God is the goal of history, so every church must have a kingdom focus.
• A special building is not necessary for the church to function.
• Healing of the sick is an essential aspect of evangelism.
• The times are desperate, so radical change is urgent
• Radical difference between the church and the world should be normal.
• The Holy Spirit loves the world and is always moving out towards those who are lost. If we don't go with him, he will go on without us.
• Gods rule must never be established by force. We cannot build his kingdom until we win the battle in the marketplace of ideas.
