This Little Church 3 in 1

Author: Gary Gilley
Publisher: Evangelical Press
Gary Gilley's three classic books are here combined in one volume: This Little Church went to Market: With the spectacular successes of mega churches like Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, California, churches all over the world are buying into the market-driven philosophy of church growth and expansion. But what price have these churches paid in order to fill their pews with scores of people? This Little Church Stayed Home: Many churches, riding the faddish waves of our times, have 'gone to market', but not all. Some churches are trying to 'stay home', that is, remain firmly grounded in the Scriptures. Still, the pressures mount, the temptations are repackaged, and the schemes of the world become more and more persuasive. This Little Church Had None: Evangelicals have been desperately trying to impress the world for decades, becoming thoroughly worldly in the process. It's hard to think of any significant fad that evangelicals haven't latched onto. Trendiness seems to be the evangelical movement's defining characteristic. Holiness has practically fallen out of the evangelical vocabulary.
