It’s been a brutal few years for pastors and church leaders. The COVID-19 pandemic has been the most disruptive event most churches have ever faced. On top of that, internet-formed Christians are increasingly being catechized by partisan politics and secular pop culture. The result? Divided and fragmenting churches, declining church membership, and weary leaders.
The situation can feel dire for church leaders. And, for many Christians, committing to a church can feel like more trouble than it’s worth.
But in this volatile and anxious time in history—as in any time in history—the answer is not to give up on church. The answer is to double down on the church’s importance. The answer is to rediscover church.
That’s why The Gospel Coalition is pleased to publish, in partnership with Crossway and 9Marks, a new book we hope will be a back-to-basics rallying cry for our generation: Rediscover Church: Why the Body of Christ Is Essential by Collin Hansen and Jonathan Leeman.
Free Copies for Church Leaders
We are thrilled that Crossway has generously offered to launch Rediscover Church with a large-scale giveaway geared toward churches. The goal is to get a copy of the book into the hands of 400,000 Christians in the U.S.
If you’re a church leader and would like to request a case of 20 free copies of Rediscover Church, simply fill out this form. This giveaway offer will run for two weeks only (Aug. 16 to 30, while supplies last), so request copies for your church soon! Please note: offer only available to churches within the U.S.
We hope this book blesses weary pastors and church leaders all over the world. That’s why Rediscover Church is being translated into more than 20 languages. In this year of global crisis, we want the global church to rediscover its essential identity and purpose.
Whether you read it together as a church staff, in your church small group, as a whole congregation, or as an individual believer, Rediscover Church has the potential to be a galvanizing resource and boost for the beleaguered Bride of Christ.
