When I (George Barna) was preparing to write the book Revolution, I spent time researching revolutions, movements, revivals, and other forms of transformation. During that period, the inability to locate a good book about the origins of common church practices was quite frustrating. Shortly after Revolution was published, the writing of Frank Viola came to my attention. One of his books was Pagan Christianity – the very book I’d been looking for regarding the history of dozens of practices we do in our churches – and which we sometimes mistakenly assume have biblical roots. I have had the privilege of working with Frank to update and revise his book, and now hope that you will take the time to read it and discover the history of our church habits. To learn more about the freedom that we have to be genuine disciples of Christ in how we pursue our relationship with God, get a copy of this hot-off-the-press book today. Normally $18, we can make it available to you for just $12 today (plus shipping and applicable tax). click here
