The church's ethnocentrism, consumerism, and syncretism have blurred the lines between discipleship and partisanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePastor Eric Costanzo, missiologist Daniel Yang, and nonprofit leader Matthew Soerens find that for the church to returnto health, we must decenter ourselves from our American idols and recenter on the undeniable, inalienable core reality of the global, transcultural kingdom of God. Our guides in this process are global Christians and the poor, who offer hope from themargins, and the ancient church, which survived through the ages amid temptations of power and corruption. Their witness points us to refocus on the kingdom of God, the image of God, the Word of God, and the mission of God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe path to the future takes us away from ourselves in unlikely directions. By learning from the global church and marginalized voices, we can return to our roots of being kingdom-focused, loving our neighbor, and giving of ourselves in missional service to the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eric Costanzo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40701299032113,"sku":"9781514003046","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0571\/9926\/3793\/files\/9781514003046.jpg?v=1780471164","url":"https:\/\/bakerbookhouse.com\/products\/9781514003046_inalienable","provider":"Baker Book House ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
