Summary

Millions are satisfied to sit through hour-long, weekly religious services. Millions more have left the church, brokenhearted and cynical. But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture.

We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today - but not until we devote ourselves to her original priorities.

Listen to this book and be challenged, guided, and encouraged to passionately pursue God’s magnificent and beautiful vision for his church. Come and claim your part in this body of believers that is not just possible - it’s promised.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

A wake up call and a must read

It's very difficult to criticise anything written in this book as pretty much everything is backed up with Biblical truth. It's important to understand Francis's heart, otherwise you may take some of the content as critical and that is the last thing intended here. My only slight feeling is that I believe there's a place for churches of all shapes and sizes in The Body of Christ and this book leans heavily towards small groups.
This small point is hugely outweighed by the challenges presented, most of which would, if applied, allow The Church to dramatically increase in influence and effect in The World, just as God always intended, no matter how unpalatable that may appear.

Mind blowing stuff

I used to wonder if I was weird for looking forward to forgoing sleep in order to attend the monthly all-night meeting with a significantly smaller crowd. But through this book it's now clear that God has put something inside of us which wants to praise him with others who are serious about seeking him; especially when regular church doesn't cut it at all.

This is a superb, challenging & inspirational book written with a humble heart. I sincerely pray that the Holy Spirit will lead my family & I into seeking him more genuinely & living the Re-imagined Christian life.

Not an easy read but ...

V. challenging and worthwhile read. Not to be read blindly but prayed over and tested with scripture. I agreed with a lot of what I read but my main thoughts were how does this become a reality for your everyday Christian in the western church?
Maybe that is the strength of this book because ultimately it makes me want to know God better, love him more and pray much much more about how I can be a part of church as God intended.

makes you reflect on what is church

Excellent book - an open and honest discussion on the reality of church. Will make you reevaluate what being part of / leading the church is truly about - the body of Christ

The BEST book! (After the Bible!!)

Francis Chan challenges every thought you've ever had about faith and church in this book!! He sets a huge test for the church body in their response to these challenges! A challenge everyone needs to be in on! Such a refreshing, much needed book!

Uplifting, encouraging, challenging and inspiring

This book has had a deep impact on me. I have already made changes in our church and I feel so encouraged to keep pressing on towards the beautiful vision Chan paints of the church through frequent quoting of scripture. For a long time I really struggled with the consumerism I saw in the church and Chan deals with it humbly, biblically and forthrightly. I highly recommend it for personal, group or leadership study

Enlightening and convicting book

God's church is satisfied with too little. This book spurs us on to aspire for far more than we're accustomed to.
