Letters to the Church

by Francis Chan

Chan's critique of the American church after leaving his megachurch: consumer Christianity, celebrity pastors, the New Testament model of small gatherings, and his own house-church experiment. Blunt and self-implicating.

Three things you will actually use

  1. Church is a family, not a show.
  2. Smaller can be deeper.
  3. Leaders should be replaceable.

Do this first

Read the chapter on the early church and compare it to your Sunday.
