In the pages of To Love and To Cherish From This Day Forward, Millwood sets out to paint a different picture, a new picture of the Church: a portrait of a Church which is not a building, a business, an institution, a school, or an organization. Rather, a Church who is a person - a Bride - a Bride who adores Her Groom.
the goal of the book is to call Church members and leaders to get off the Church-As-Merry-Go-Round...take a deep breath...and to make the hard decision to look into the mirror and compare our churches to this portrait of a healthy Bride.
Dr. Randy Millwood is a husband, dad, pop, friend, colleague, neighbor, coach, consultant, department director, faculty member, advisor, baseball fan, Christmas enthusiast, ice cream and pie lover, part of the Bride of Christ and a follower of Jesus.
Praise for the book:
Leaders need to make sure they are working on the right questions. Answering the wrong questions precisely right still won't matter! Randy Millwood gives church leaders a better set of questions to work on than the ones consuming so many. Don't read this book if you want to figure out how to do church better; by all means read it if you want to BE church better.
