Safe Houses Of Hope And Prayer

Safe Houses of Hope and Prayer is the second installment in a two-part introduction to organic house church. This second book picks up where the first book, River Houses Rising, left off. Where that book laid the foundation for organic house church, this book builds on that foundation by offering practical insights into the day-to-day functioning of an organic house church, including: The danger of trying to drive "religious square pegs" into "spiritual round holes"; How John Wesley discovered and used house churches during the Evangelical Awakening; How to avoid "Honey, I Shrunk The Church"; How to avoid having your house church "torpedoed" by the "messiness" of life; How to use a shipwreck to identify the five leadership gifts of the New Testament Church; Whether or not to meet on the "Sabbath"; How to avoid "a shirt and ten shekels" while embracing the New Testament call to "radical sacrificial giving"; Why false teachers are to the New Testament what false prophets were to the Old Testament. How you and your house can become "legendary"; And much more!
