When C.
S. LEWIS was asked about his churchmanship, he replied that
his preference was neither for high church nor low church,
but rather for 'deep church'.
In this
book Frog and Amy Orr-Ewing explore the concept of deep church
in a 21st-century context. They argue that a missionary congregation
needs to be deeply evangelical and evangelistic, deeply reliant
on the power of the Holy Spirit, deeply engaged with its surrounding
culture and community, deeply realistic about its limitations
and temptations, and deeply convinced of its faith, in the
face of all other worldviews and alternatives.
DEEP is
about restoring the heart of the Christian faith, within a
rapidly changing and demanding culture, without lurching from
one new methodology to another. It's about rescuing today's
church from unnecessary disillusionment, and wholeheartedly
embracing Christ and his Kingdom.
The call
of deep church is not just for theologians and church leaders;
it is also about each individual Christian experiencing and
knowing that Jesus rescues from the depths and changes them
deeply.

How do
I know what God wants me to do?
What's
the right way to pray?
How do
I explain this to my friends?
This
is only the beginning of your fantastic faith-life journey.
It includes insightful questions asked by someone just
starting out on the trek toward truth, and includes prayerful
devotions to meditate on in response. In fact, each
day is dedicated to a different Christian topic you've been
wondering about.
