The Next Christians

The Next Christians:
The Good News About the End of Christian America
By Gabe Lyons (Doubleday)
A 2011 Outreach Resource of the Year

“For the next Christians, the ought is the prism through which they see their mission. This includes sharing the Gospel so that men and women might enter into relationship with God, but it also goes beyond that. In the good garden, there was no sickness or evil or pain. So these Christians set out to identify hurts, sickness, darkness and evil, and then show up as a force of help, healing and goodness. They believe that they’ve been called to restore things to the way God intended them.” —Gabe Lyons, from the book
