Book Review of The Church Invisible: A Journey into the Future of the UK Church

The Church Invisible: A Journey into the Future of the UK Church
reviewed on + 161 more book reviews


This book makes some good points. However, I am concerned that Mr. Page presents the church as another social organization. He does not address at all the spiritual side of church-death.
The questions section does not once ask "Are you praying for new members?" or "Are you praying for the Holy Spirit/revival?" Nor does it ask "Does your church strive to do the will of God in spite of the cultural barriers?"
The modern church is seen as irrelevant to seekers because it is irrelevant to members. We claim to have "something the world can not give", yet people like Mr. Page want to advance the church by the same ways the world advances. Meantime, people are dying for want of a church that moves in the power of God.
