The Tsunami of Change |

Wednesday, July 11th
Brian McLaren has said...
“What happens when a mature Christian with a truly brilliant, active, fertile mind also has deep experience and broad knowledge of theology, philosophy, business, art, history, technology, spirituality, the local church, and future studies? You have the makings of a masterpiece like The Millennium Matrix. All the advocates of ‘business/ministry as usual’ now have another threat to their denial; Rex Miller’s book will afflict the comfortable and stimulate, prod, challenge, and inspire innovators.”
