"Christianity is growing faster than at any time in history. So why is the church in Europe and America stagnant or declining, and what will it take for that to change? The Kingdom Unleashed explores God's Kingdom Movements. Central to every movement are the core values of the Kingdom of God, which Jesus proclaimed and modeled throughout His ministry. The authors of The Kingdom Unleashed spent three years researching why only a few such movements are happening in North America and Western Europe. They identify historical and worldview issues that hinder Kingdom movements in the West. Interviews with many leading movement catalysts illuminate the biblical principles, paradigms, and practices that Jesus mandated for His disciples. By returning to these, we can revitalize Christianity in the Global North and see the Kingdom Unleashed."--Back cover.;"As American culture becomes increasingly bent toward secularism, it may surprise you to know that Christianity is growing faster now than at any time in world history. So why don't we see more evidence of God at work in the culture we live in? Because this growth is taking place almost entirely in the Global South." - kingdomunleashed.org;Foreword / Harry Brown -- Foreword / Younoussa Djao -- Terms -- Section one : Great news and bad news. 1.
