Shawn Brace's world began to shift one Friday night; after a close-knit gathering in a family home. "Why does church have to be more than this?" he asked himself. It was a question that led him into Scripture; paving the way for a fresh understanding of the mission and dynamics of God's family-and eventually the re-launch of his church. With stories from his experience; Brace paints an inspiring vision of what it looks like to participate in the mission and family of God in ways that are relevant and meaningful to a post- Christian society. If you are tired of simply going to church; find out how to start being church in your community-a family where every person is welcome at the table. Endorsements Shawn Brace's journey has the potential not only to save the Western church from extinction but to transform it into a positive force to be reckoned with. But this new way of being the church just happens to be the old way by which the apostles turned the world upside down. -Ty Gibson; Author; Director/Speaker; Light Bearers Ministry Inspiring and practical; this book could forever change the way you approach your life and church. -Gary Krause; Director; Office of Adventist Mission; General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists
