Jesus doesn't want you in heaven. Jesus needs you here on earth. Millions want nothing to do with the church or Christianity. Newsworthy: Nine Ways to Live the Good News Now provides a simple solution: The Gospel. Follow Jesus' example and contribute to your community's earthly here-and-now rather than focusing solely on its heavenly hereafter. Gain trust with your community by taking risks and tackling hard issues such as racism, gender roles, and ageism together, rather than protecting yourself and withdrawing. As Jesus risked all on the cross, be inspired to take great risks for great causes, knowing nothing can be broken that cannot be rebuilt by the resurrection. With his new book, Chris Altrock will help you and your church: -Transform into people able to focus on securing a better today on earth for those in your community not just a better tomorrow in heaven for them. -Recognize the ways in which God uses ordinary moments and means for extraordinary purposes. -Choose loving your community over fighting it, compromising with it, or withdrawing from it. -Take risks for great causes knowing that nothing can be broken by taking that risk that cannot be rebuilt by the resurrection. -Think compassionately and engage fruitfully in conversations about delicate issues such as racism, gender roles, and ageism.
