The Provocative Church - Softcover

A lively and accessible book offering a practical theology of evangelism and the local church. Alpha, Emmaus and the like have proved excellent tools for those interested in Christianity. But what about those not interested? The basic theme of Life in the Kingdom of God is that we need 'provocative' churches which raise the question asked by the onlookers in Acts 2:12: 'What does all this mean?' Only when people have seen something in church or Christian life that is provocative or attractive, will they be intriguted enough to want to know what's going on.
