Synopsis

It's time to start over from zero. What happened to the Western church? Why are we losing the generation under thirty and reaching so few nonbelievers? In Church Zero, Peyton Jones examines one of our biggest problems: squeezing our leaders into a mold that cuts their hair and drains away their commando strength. Scripture lays out a leadership model that worked explosively in the first century. When properly understood, Christ’s model can help your church live the way it was meant to live, truly making a difference in your community. Church Zero gives the blueprints for how the Western church might start rebuilding from the ground up. What would tomorrow look like if we had to restart from a biblical ground zero? Church Zero will help us once again become a radical, dangerous people who cannot be ignored.

Goodreads review by Micaela

This book is excellent for anyone who sits in church and thinks, "There has to be something more." You, of course, are right and Peyton Jones provides insight into what that "more" is. A self-proclaimed nerd, this man has not had an easy life, but when given the opportunity between a comfy megachurc......more
