Do you long for an intimate relationship with your Creator, but He seems elusive? Perhaps it is because something utterly essential is missing—the fear of the Lord. Don’t let this frighten you. Fearing God is very different than being afraid of God. It’s the key to everything.

Story
Millions are satisfied to sit through hour-long, weekly religious services. Millions more have left the church, brokenhearted and cynical. But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture. We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

Church leadership 101
This book is a must read for anyone in church ministry and those who aspire to being a leader. Rick's comments are both motivational and highly practical. Once started I could not stop listening. My plan now is to apply his common sense principles to make my Church purpose driven for God. Thank you Rick for a great book.

A Great Message From A Humble Servant of God!
I loved this book and everything it brings forward. I just wish the whole book was in the Audible version. If I didn't already own the actual written version of the book, I would have been a bit disappointed that the entire book with the details of the preparation for the Purpose Driven Church is not present in the Audible version I obtained. Other than that, I am very pleased and motivated to present this great message to my Pastor and begin preparing our congregation for their new roles as ministers as well as members of the Kingdom! God Bless you, Pastor Rick!
