Looking for Answers about HarperOne If the Church Were Christian: Rediscovering the Values of Jesus?

Entertainment masquerading as worship.Elaborate programming supplanting genuine human caring.political crusades eclipsing the gospel.Is this what Jesus really wants from us? Many are asking these questions of the church today, and many are not receiving answers..in fact many are becoming disillusioned begging the question what is the fastest growing Christian phenomenon, specific denominations or the exodus from the church? Philip Gulley in his book If the Church were Christian believes that the church has fundamentally lost its way and sets about the task of illuminating just how much we have lost, how far we have strayed from Christ called us to be. Through examining what Jesus says about the church in the gospels (which isn't much) Gulley provides a profound picture of what the church would look like if it lived out Jesus' priorities instead of its own ideals.
