Do you find yourself picking through circumstances like children plucking daisy petals attempting to figure out whether or not God loves you? If you find yourself least certain of his love in those critical moments when you most need to trust him, there is hope for you. Where? At the one event in human history that forever secured your place in the Father's heart - the cross where Jesus allowed sin and shame to be consumed in his own body so that you could freely embrace a relationship with his Father.

Story
For centuries, the Church has observed the Lord’s Supper as part of corporate worship, instituted by Jesus Himself. But for many Christians today, this tradition can be a confusing ritual. Are we missing something in this ancient sacrament? Beni and Bill Johnson - best-selling authors and senior leaders of Bethel Church in Redding, California - had a miraculous revelation while celebrating communion. In The Power of Communion, they reveal how this sacred practice is an often overlooked opportunity to release God’s power in your life!

Story
Have you ever wondered why we Christians do what we do for church every Sunday morning? Why do we "dress up" for church? Why does the pastor preach a sermon each week? Why do we have pews, steeples, choirs, and seminaries? This volume reveals the startling truth: most of what Christians do in present-day churches is not rooted in the New Testament, but in pagan culture and rituals developed long after the death of the apostles.

Story
Why does the allegiance that radical terrorists give to their false cause exceed the allegiance that most Christians today give to Jesus Christ? In Insurgence, best-selling author Frank Viola presents a radical proposal for Christians. Namely, that we have lost the explosive, earthshaking gospel of the kingdom that Jesus, Paul, and the other apostles preached. Viola argues that we've lost this dynamic, titanic, living gospel and exchanged it for a gospel of religious duty or permissiveness and "easy believism."

Story
Millions are satisfied to sit through hour-long, weekly religious services. Millions more have left the church, brokenhearted and cynical. But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture. We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

On account of the superficial points of agreement between Islam and Christianity, many don't see how tremendously deep the divides between them really are, and fewer still have considered the evidence for each faith. How is jihad different from the Crusades? Can we know the life of Jesus as well as the life of Muhammad? What reason is there to believe in one faith over the other, and what difference can the Gospel really make?

Story
Loving Our Kids on Purpose combines the principles of the Kingdom of God and revival to form a powerful strategy for parents. Rather than the traditional approaches that train children to learn to accept being controlled by well-meaning parents and adults, this book teaches parents how to train children to manage their freedoms and protect their important heart-to-heart relationships. Children were designed with the core need of freedom. To deny this or live ignorant of it eventually destroys the trust connection between parent and child.

While many churches talk about discerning calling and engaging in mission, very few are structured to make this their ministry focus. Underground Church is a new vision for the church rooted in its biblical mission to share the love of God and serve the poor. Sanders explores how to make structural changes, how to think about leadership, how to fund ministries, and how to truly engage people in God's mission. Filled with creative insights, he explains what it means to center the mission of the church around the callings of individuals to outward ministry.

Story
Once upon a time there was a version of our faith that was practically...irresistible. But that was then. Today we preach, teach, write, and communicate as if nothing has changed. As if “The Bible says it” still settles it. It’s time to hit pause on much of what we’re doing and consider the faith modeled by our first-century brothers and sisters who had no official Bible, no status, and humanly speaking, little chance of survival. What did they know that we don’t? What made their faith so compelling, so defensible, so irresistible? Buckle up...you’re about to find out.

Story
The Cure gives the diagnosis of this century's religious obsession with sin-management. It has poisoned the Church, obscuring the Original Good News and sending millions away-wounded, angry and cynical, from nearly any organized expression of faith. The Cure offers an authentic experience in Christ that frees some from a self-rewarded righteousness, and others from a beaten down striving for a righteousness they can never seem to attain.

Publisher's Summary
If, like many other people, you have questioned whether there is something more to Jesus church than the religious institutions we've inherited after two thousand years, you'll want to read Finding Church. Here is straight talk from a man who has sought authentic New Testament community for more than fifty years and who has discovered it in the most unlikely places. Now Wayne wants to help you find this incredible bride Jesus is shaping by looking at the church as God sees her and by recognizing her as she takes shape around you. His church is a living temple, springing up in the individual heart and then knit into a worldwide community of people whose very relationships put God s glory on display. There s no way human effort can build it or sustain it, which is why our attempts fall so woefully short. She is the fruit of a new creation of men and women who live beyond the human conventions of society and share a life in Jesus that satisfies their most ardent hunger.

Just what I needed
I have been struggling to find the right church for years and finally about 6 months ago I just gave up. I just decided to try to follow God and let Him lead me to people to connect with. Well I was starting to get discourage. Maybe I'm the only one. Maybe I'm crazy but I read this book right on time. Church does not have to be confined to the box we try to fit it in. It's so much more than that!

exceptional book on the church
I have been blessed by Wayne's writings for over 10 years being challenged by his wisdom. This amazing book brings more of the same. Getting clear on the church and understanding it is Jesus' job and responsibility to build what He wants to build is liberating. It looses us to believe and draw deeper into his heart.
on the performance, I always like to hear the author read their own book. This was professionally done and made for easy listening.

Wayne Shares From His Heart How We Can Find Church
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to find a healthy church family without all of the extra religious baggage!
Who was your favorite character and why?
The "characters" in this "story" are everyone as they learn to live in a real relationship with Jesus Christ in learning how to find Church in relationships based on love, not in institutions based on religious performance and obligation.
What about Wayne Jacobsen’s performance did you like?
Listening to Wayne read this book feels like sitting down with him and listening to him share from his heart what he's learned on his own journey.
Any additional comments?
After spending most of my life going to church and learning how to do church with all of the various methods and models, hearing from Wayne is like a breath of fresh air and very freeing in helping me to understand how we can all find Church through real relationships based on mutual love for Jesus Christ and one another.

Great questions and solid paths to follow.
As usual, Wayne gives words to thoughts and concerns many of us don't know how to verbalize (or are afraid to)! He doesn't give formulas to follow, but encourages us to follow the path of love that God sets before us, and share that love with those we find around us.

Amazing! This Book Says What I’ve Been Feeling!
If you’ve been wondering if there is more to Jesus’ plan than sitting in a pew once a week, you should check out this book. The author has gone through a journey of discovery and encourages us to do the same.
If the very thought that religion is not the best we can do offends you, then maybe this book is not for you.
I recommend it very highly and I hope you’ll give it a chance.

NOT ABOUT "CHURCH-BASHING
Would you listen to Finding Church again? Why?
Yes, and I am! I even ordered a hard copy of the book so I could find Wayne's insights and highlight them but I soon found my highlighter running dry! I especially appreciate that he doesn't "bash" the church or religion. This author presents ideas for you to consider -- leaving you to make your own decisions about his findings.
What other book might you compare Finding Church to and why?
So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore
Which character – as performed by Wayne Jacobsen – was your favorite?
Wayne himself (and John in the book, So You Don't Want To Go To Church Anymore)
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Wayne's own subtitle "What if there really is something more?"
Any additional comments?
Church-goers, please don't let the titles keep you from reading. These books are NOT about "church bashing." Quite the contrary!

Genuine and finally something that expresses the thoughts I’ve had
I appreciate the way Jacobsen doesn’t pretend to have the final answer with 9 steps to creating the Best Church Ever. For a long time something has been growing in my heart, wanting more than I was getting at any “local church” I attended or worked at. I was scared to leave the system bc of the stigmas that followed those that did. I finally jumped. It hasn’t been super easy, but it has been fulfilling and healing. This book put words to so many thoughts and feelings I thought I was alone in having. He does it gently but honestly and God has used it greatly as I’ve walked this journey. Church is more a verb than a noun, and I feel more free to church wherever I am - at home, at Target, at work - by living my life in relationship with Jesus and that hopefully inviting others into that relationship, rather than inviting them to a meeting. If this is something your spirit has yearned for, I can’t highly recommend this book enough.

I think a lot of people will recognize aspects of what the author is pointing to as already happening in and to them and this book will confirm what God has been speaking to us and help us see ideas and practices that are restricting are fellowship and unity in Him our Lord.

Looking for Jesus and not finding him in church?
I have a growing appreciation for Wayne Jacobsen's writing. A while back I stepped out of institutional church in order to participate in seeding more relational house based expressions of being church. I picked this up with interest after reading So You Don't Want to Go to Church Anymore? This book develops the ideas found there. Start with that book first. If it challenges you, come back to this. You won't be disappointed.
