Radical Church [Paperback]

Bryn Jones (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 1, 1999

The church has never been as numerically strong or as globally widespread as it is today. Christianity is presently the world's largest religion - with 1.6 billion adherents. Yet, as we prepare to enter the third millennium, the Church is wrestling within itself to identify both its moral base in a culture that has generally abandoned moral absolutes and its role in a world that tends to view the religious establishment as irrelevantly archaic, Internally riddled with dissension, the Church's testimony has become blunted by mediocrity and its voice muted by compromise. As a result, today's Church is in danger of simply meandering across the millennial line, having lost sight of God's original purpose.

The crisis of the Church is serious, and it must be successfully confronted if the Church is to be in the next millennium what it was in the first: alight shining in the darkness of the moral maze and hand the hand of God reaching out to heal the sick, bless the underclass, lift the downtrodden, and give hope and life to the hurting masses.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Against the backdrop of a deteriorating society, Bryn Jones paints a picture of hope. As a new millennium approaches, the Church is seen as the sharp end of an advancing Kingdom where the covenant promises of God still hold true." "We are lifted to see the 'cosmic' purposes of God unfold through the restoration and release of ministries and gifts into every sphere of our fallen world." -- Stuart Bell New Life Christian Fellowship Newland-Lincoln, England

"This book is destined to become a handbook for every church leader who longs for his church to impact our society as the early Church in Acts did. Bryn Jones' deep understanding of the Scriptures shines through the pages of The Radical Church, giving the reader the desire to see the Church of God emerge as the living Body of Christ and challenging him on some traditional views he may have on 'the Church.' Thank you, Bryn, for being obedient to God in releasing this timely book!" -- Ken Gott, Revival Now! Sunderland, United Kingdom

Book Description

The world of the apostles and the world of today may look a lot different, but there is one thing that has not changed: the need for a radical Church in a degenerate society. We still need a church, a body of people, who will bring a hard-hitting, totally unfamiliar message: Jesus has come to set us free! Bryn Jones of Ansty, Coventry, United Kingdom, an apostolic leader to numerous churches across the world, will challenge your view of what church is and what it is not. Be prepared to learn afresh of the Church that Jesus Christ is building today!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful Picture of the Church as Jesus Intended, June 2, 2006

This review is from: Radical Church (Paperback)

The Radical Church by the late Bryn Jones is the crowning work, the magnum opus, of one of the most powerful and productive house church leaders in the U.K. In this book, Bryn conveys a clear and concise vision of the end-time church, the Body of Christ, in full apostolic authority and maturity. Strongly grounded in Scripture and amazingly prophetic in scope, The Radical Church is a refreshing change from the doom-and-gloom survivalist perspective of many Western Church thinkers. It absolutely challenges the old paradigms of how we in the West "do church". Every Restorationist church leader (who subscribes to the apostolic model of church government) should pour over the pages of The Radical Church, Bible in hand, and receive an impartation of fresh vision. And every lay person who attends an apostolic fellowship should follow suit and devour this book. The concepts are timeless and unquestionably Biblical.

This one is a "must".
