I am reviewing a copy of Next Sunday: An Honest Dialogue About the Future of the Church through InterVarsity Press and Netgalley:
Are future generations going to find the Church worth fighting for? great reckoning is underway in the church today: a naming and exposing of the exclusivity, abuse, racism, patriarchy, and unchecked power that have marked evangelical Christianity for far too long. What kind of Church is going to emerge on the other side of this?
Like many families, the Beaches have been wrestling with this question. Together, Nancy and Samantha represent two generations: Nancy, a boomer, was a key player in the megachurch movement that revolutionized global ministry during the '80s and '90s, while Samantha, a millennial, is willing to abandon those massive buildings and celebrity cultures and find out whether the foundation holds. Each chapter in this book offers their individual experiences and perspectives on a challenge facing the church and considers the way forward. Filled with deep introspection and keen insight, Next Sunday is a vulnerable conversation about what the church has been and what it can be.
I give Next Sunday five out of five stars!
Happy Reading!
