DESCRIPTION

Life without church. It's getting easier to imagine.

And maybe you already left. A leaver, then. Committed to Jesus, not an institution. Perhaps you've left your church in spirit, remaining in the pew. Outwardly silent. Secretly bored. In either case, Brian Sanders has a word for you.

Out of his own experience as a leaver, Brian distills the complex problem into two viable options:

• Stay. Remain in your church with the blessing of Christ and in the power of his great vision for the church to come.
• Take the path of revolutionary leaving. Move purposefully, seeking the kingdom of God that is beyond institutions.

Whether Sunday mornings find you alone in a one-bedroom apartment or isolated in a church of thousands, Brian reminds you to keep listening for God's call.

Reform the church that is Christ's. Be it from the inside out, or the outside in.
