Description
As
Christians, we pray for God’s kingdom to come “on earth as it in heaven.” But
what does that even mean? Would we
recognize God’s kingdom if it moved in next door?
Learn to see God’s work in your neighborhood, city, and the world—and learn how to join in. With stories from his own city of Houston, Texas, author Marty Troyer introduces a theology of place that empowers us to truly see the work of God where we live, work, and play. The Gospel Next Door unpacks the gospel through the lenses of following Jesus, making peace, and overcoming injustice. Those seeking to connect more deeply with the world that God so loved will find compelling stories and practical ideas for healing brokenness and imagining new life. Start living out the kingdom of God here and now.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"The Gospel Next Door shows us how we can be part of God's transformational work right where we are, every day. This is a powerful book with life-changing lessons. Read it, and watch the gospel come alive." - Michael O. Emerson, author of Divided by Faith
"Troyer's The Gospel Next Door is a much needed work for the church, because it challenges us to be missional in our own backyards. This work gives believers a blueprint for how the gospel of justice can change not only our local communities but our walk with Yahshua through experiences of radical love." - Onleilove Alston, executive director, Faith in New York
"Marty Troyer has taken on the enormous task of helping us reframe the story we tell about what it means to do the work of the kingdom of God. He does that by thoughtfully examining the Scripture in the context of the mission field of Houston and by casting the story as both personal and community transformation. He does that with a pastor's heart and a prophet's urgency. And he does it as a wise, thoughtful participant in what God is doing in one of our nation's great cities. I highly commend The Gospel Next Door to you." - Jim Herrington, coauthor of Leading Congregational Change and founder of Faithwalking
