TOTAL CHURCH: A RADICAL RESHAPING AROUND GOSPEL AND COMMUNITY (RE: LIT BOOKS) by Tim Chester
Steve Timmis
WHY I LIKE IT
Paints a picture of the church that takes lofty ideas of ‘living missionally’ and shows us how to put it in motion in ordinary, everyday life.
Two pastors outline and apply a pair of overarching biblical principles that call the current body of Christ to a deep restructuring of its life and mission. "Church is not a meeting you attend or a place you enter," write pastors Tim Chester and Steve Timmis. "It's an identity that is ours in Christ. An identity that shapes the whole of life so that life and mission become 'total church.'" With that as their premise, they emphasize two overarching principles to govern the practice of church and mission: being gospel-centered and being community-centered. When these principles take precedence, say the authors, the truth of the Word is upheld, the mission of the gospel is carried out, and the priority of relationships is practiced in radical ways. The church becomes not just another commitment to juggle but a 24/7 lifestyle where programs, big events, and teaching from one person take a backseat to sharing lives, reaching out, and learning about God together.
