Church congregations all across the world are searching for the magic bullet, the secret to attracting people, growing their membership and their cultural relevance. They are looking for the right program, or the right environment, or the right features to help bring people back into the pews. With all of this searching for the right answer, author Jonathan Fisk tells them what's missing is right in front of them: Word and Sacrament.
The ancient church saw martyrdom as an honour. Today, we cower in corners, bickering over the colour of the carpet. The ancient church conquered the world by dying at its hands. Today, we are crushed in an overwhelming retreat of trying to fit in. The first Christians were not searching for anything. They were convinced that they had found the answer. They had the powerful message of a Saviour. They were fearless. Could the magic bullet, the secret, be that simple?
In Without Flesh, Fisk encourages readers to focus on the unchanging Word of God, instead of searching for a new tool to bring people to church, and teaches them how to be fearless and confident in proclaiming the Word of God.
