The man in the River: following God out of the Church

The established Church in the West is in freefall decline - that much is certain. Mainstream Christians can sometimes feel like faith-filled rabbits in the headlights. Their traditional place of sanctuary no longer seems spiritually safe and their leaders no longer seem to genuinely represent them or their personal understanding of the Christian faith. What can be done? Giving up going to church and searching for alternative opportunities to worship may initially appear to be a radical response to the problem, but the alternative – doing nothing – will eventually feel like sitting at the bedside of an old friend and watching a slow, painful death. ‘The man in the River’ is a message of hope for Christians today. Based upon one of the most spectacular visions of the Prophet Ezekiel and highlighting some surprising similarities between ancient Israel and modern-day society, the book offers comfort and reassurance to anxious believers by explaining why a godless Church is not a God-less world.
