<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p>How can the church engage the world, not by judgment nor accommodation but by becoming the good news in our culture? Offering seven distinct spiritual practices, David Fitch helps you re-envision church, what you do in the name of church, and the way you lead a church. Reimagine the church as the living embodiment of Christ, reflecting God's faithful presence to a desperate world.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><ul> <li>Missio Alliance Essential Reading List of 2016</li> </ul><p>In our quest to renew the church, Christians have walked through seeker-friendly, emergent, missional, and other movements to develop new expressions of the body of Christ. Now in the post-Christian world in North America we're asking the question again: Is there a way to be the church that engages the world, not by judgment nor accommodation but by becoming the good news in our culture? In <em>Faithful Presence</em>, noted pastor and scholar David Fitch offers a new vision for the witness of the church in the world. He argues that we have lost the intent and practice of the sacramental ways of the historic church, and he recovers seven disciplines that have been with us since the birth of the church. Through numerous examples and stories, he demonstrates how these revolutionary disciplines can help the church take shape in and among our neighborhoods, transform our way of life in the world, and advance the kingdom. This book will help you re-envision church, what you do in the name of church, and the way you lead a church. It recovers a future for the church that takes us beyond Christendom. Embrace the call to reimagine the church as the living embodiment of Christ, dwelling in and reflecting God's faithful presence to a world that desperately needs more of it.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>Faithful Presence</em> is a helpful book for churches to develop a greater vision to see the spiritual practices as an all-encompassing communal discipline shared by the body of Christ for greater mission in the world.</p>--Benjamin Kim, Churchman, Autumn 2017<br><br><p>Fitch's <em>Faithful Presence</em> is . . . timely and extraordinarily helpful. As churches shrink, as 'spiritual but not religious' postures become more widespread, as American Christendom wanes and it becomes weirder, more inconvenient, and less comfortable to commit oneself to a local church, the need to recover this 'faithfully present' vitality is more urgent than ever.</p>--Brett McCracken, Christianity Today, January/February 2017<br>
