About this listen
Luca Lewis is done with church. It killed his father, and now he wants nothing to do with the whole thing. Yet, he can’t seem to shake the unwanted conviction his father planted deep in his soul: that maybe something else is possible–something much more important.
Dr. Jimmy Norris is struggling to lead LifePointe, a waning, suburban Atlanta megachurch. He sees the church desperately needs to change, but clambering after new gimmicks just doesn’t cut it anymore, and the crushing shadow of his politically powerful father is ever-present. Without courageous leadership, LifePointe is finished. And so is Jimmy’s future.
And Yushua Maalouf, a Yemeni refugee betrayed by his family for his newfound faith finds himself bewildered as he encounters the priorities of the North American church. On Yemeni soil, he experienced a selfless and unstoppable faith community. But can he see what his heart deeply craves in his newly adopted homeland? When these three lives unexpectedly cross, Luca and Jimmy are given a rare moment to see Jesus’ church in a whole new way. But will they see past the scars and status of a refugee to the divine opportunity that stands squarely in front of them?
Missiologist and author Jeff Christopherson weaves seven common temptations drawing the Western church away from its disciple-making, calling into a compelling story of three very different men. Each with something essential to see. And each given a call to a different way.

American evangelical Christianity has lost its way. While the witness of the church before a watching world is diminished beyond recognition, congregations are torn apart over Donald Trump, Christian nationalism, racial injustice, sexual predation, disgraced leaders, and covered-up scandals. Left behind are millions of believers who counted on the church to be a place of belonging and hope. As greater and greater numbers of younger Americans bleed out from the church, even the most rooted evangelicals are wondering, “Can American Christianity survive?”

Jonathan "JP" Pokluda wants you to know there's a better, more fulfilling way to live, and it doesn't involve looking inside yourself for the answers—because that's not where you'll find them.

We let them into our bodies, and they sabotage our peace.

C. S.

In a dream, the narrator boards a bus on a drizzly afternoon in Hell and embarks on an incredible voyage to Heaven. Anyone in Hell is invited on board, and anyone may remain in Heaven if he or she so chooses. But do we really want to live in Heaven?

How did the world arrive at its current, disorienting state of identity politics, and how should the church respond? Historian Carl R. Trueman discusses how influences ranging from traditional institutions to technology and pornography moved modern culture toward an era of "expressive individualism." Investigating philosophies from the Romantics, Nietzsche, Marx, Wilde, Freud, and the New Left, he outlines the history of Western thought to the distinctly sexual direction of present-day identity politics and explains the modern implications of these ideas.

Story
Dr. Emilie Getz and Jonas Fielding are as different as two people - of the same age, with the same faith, living in the same small Pennsylvania town - could possibly be. She's a first-class neatnik; he's a world-class slob. She's into saving historical relics; he's into saving souls. But perhaps opposites do attract. For when this historian and this land developer meet, sparks fly. And despite the rather inauspicious beginning to their relationship, neither one will escape unchanged - or unsmitten!

Teenager Lucas Leonard made shocking admissions in front of the altar - he'd practiced witchcraft, conspired to murder his parents, and committed unspeakable crimes. The confessions earned him a brutal beating by a gang of angry church members, including his parents and sister. Lucas was brought to the hospital dead, awakening the sleepy community of Chadwicks, New York, to the horror that had been lurking next door. Nine members of Lucas' church would eventually find themselves facing murder-related charges. But how did they get to that point? And what made Lucas confess?

Amazing storylines
In this novel the author weaves together the lives of people from different countries and different places in the United States as they seek truth, seeking God through lenses that weren't the true ones. It is a good book of fiction on its own but also has so much truth about temptations that rise in the church in America. The narrator is exceptional in delivering the character's voices so excellently.

Phenomenal and inspiring
The content of this book is very challenging to the western church concepts of building bigger church buildings centered around 1 person or the few gifted and for coming to church to be educated but refuse to mobilize and actively search for the lost sheep. The way this is written, historical fiction, weaves together several characters and very real scenarios we can see in our towns and cities. Very challenging and VERY WELL narrated—Very well!!!!
