Joy for the World: How Christianity Lost its Cultural Influence and Can Begin Rebuilding It by Greg Forster and published by Crossway Books.
Many of us recognize the declining influence of the church today. And while we may be interested in doing something to reverse the trend, few of us realize we are part of the problem. Greg Forster comes to our aid by first laying out the historical factors that have contributed to the churchs loss of influence in our society today. He then explores the significance of foundational practices such as preaching, worship, and discipleshipshowing how the Holy Spirit uses them to produce joy in us that changes our churches, families, offices, and communities.
