What is Church?

A question that my new long-distance friend, Mike Bishop, asks on the cover of his book.

"Surely there is more to church than putting on a good Sunday service," he muses.  And he discovers that "Finding your purpose does not mean you identify your place in someone else's dream."   But, because American church is largely (and increasingly) built on a business model, with the whole corporation taking on the personality of the CEO, there are more and more people "... who love jesus but are dying in the church."  (All quotes from pages 14 and 15)

If you have ever felt like a cog in someone else's wheel; like you've been trained to do stupid sheep tricks; like there must be more to church than you're experiencing - this book is a great place to start the search for deeper meaning.  It's the story of a man who is walking that road, discovering along the way the richness of asking fresh questions about church leadership, structure, meetings, and traditions.

You can get the book on Amazon, and I could put up a link and get a split of the income off any copies you buy there.  But I'd really rather you go to Mike's web site and poke around a little bit, and then buy the book from him.   http://www.whatischurch.com
