This Little Church Stayed Home

Author: Gary Gilley
Publisher: Evangelical Press
Many churches, riding the faddish waves of our times, have gone æto marketÆ, but not all. Some churches are trying to æstay homeÆ, 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.

In This Little Church Stayed Home, Dr Gilley explores the manifold temptations of conservative churches to sell out to modern trends and innovations, including the present temptation towards mystical theology. Churches toying with ænew measuresÆ will be challenged to remain true to the historic doctrines of the Christian faith and to remain faithful to GodÆs chosen means of converting sinners to himself: the good news of Jesus Christ.

Pastors, seminary students, church leaders and Christians who want GodÆs Word to be paramount in their lives will find This Little Church Stayed Home a timely message to a Christian subculture fixated on marketing the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ.
