Matthew Richard

What makes a church "good?" Is there a benchmark for how much a church should offer their worshipers? Is there a level of technology needed? Or, is there something else that truly makes a church good?Come join the Campbells as they test out churches in their brand-new town of Midway. They're looking to see which one fits their family and faith the best. Each church offers something different such as post-church refreshments, use of technology, outreach programs, or childcare. Even with all of these perks, do these churches still count as "good" or are they missing something pivotal to their worship services?As you discover these eight different churches, you'll be able to see what a good church has: Christ at the very center. Don't find yourself distracted by the perks of a church and things that focus attention away from Christ. Rather, you'll see how they find a church that points everything to the Savior. Each chapter includes small call-outs to help explain the different portions of the Campbell's experience and what you can keep an eye out for in your own church hunting. Additionally, a study guide and leader guide are included to help you join together with others and discuss your current or past church experiences.

When's the last time you stepped up to the counter and ordered one medium-size Jesus, extra generous, and heavy on the bling? Or maybe you like your Jesus supersized No? Perhaps you prefer yours extra small, and hold the onion please.Here's the same question: When's the last time you took a hammer and a chisel to the Jesus of the Bible and formed Him into your own personal Jesus?Will the Real Jesus Please Stand Up? not only reminds us who the real Jesus of the Bible is, but it also reveals to us twelve false christs who are embraced, loved, promoted, and revered-even by well-meaning Christians.
