As promised, podcast seven, eight and nine, of readings from my book, are ready. Here is small description of each chapter:
Chapter Seven: Invasion
The story of how my whole family encountered God before ever stepping through the doorway of a church.
Chapter Eight: The Church that Jesus Started
This chapter seeks to introduce a vision of “church”, by going back to the root. What was Jesus` church like? Church as we know it doesn`t go back far enough. I`m not interested in “improvements” that Constantine brought to the church. I want to go back past the early church fathers, or even the epistles of Paul. I want to start with Jesus, and take it from there. I suspect that the future church will look more like the ancient church. We must go back to go forward.
Chapter Nine: Inside OUT-They Were Amphibious
This is the first of the seven characteristics we examine in the church that Jesus started. Amphibians are creatures that thrive only when they can move back and forth between land and water. Using this metaphor, I explain that followers of Jesus too are amphibious. We must live in two worlds: in community with other believers and out in the world with unbelievers. Our health and survival as the church depends on this balance.

“THANK YOU!!!!! I have most certainly appreciated these podcasts!!!! Very timely for me!
Lord, bless this brother, and the message that You have put on his heart, in Jesus Name!!!!„
“Most interesting to me was your exerpt from Chapter 8, essentially saying that Jesus planting is the answer, not church planting. I think you are really onto something. Maybe this is a "chicken vs. the egg" kind of puzzle, but I think we might get further if we focused on evangelism and discipleship (Jesus planting) and then assumed a church would be birthed in due time. I'm posting a blog on this on my site... hopefully it generates some new traffic for your book! www.root48.wordpress.com „
