No need to searchfor novel methods to halt the deterioration of the church's influence in the world; applying the heartof the gospel message will lead to flourishing again!'--Kay Warren, bestselling author andcofounder of Saddleback Church'Today's Christians must learn the way forward by looking back atthe riches of the early church's way of life. Sittser provides us an accessible history that not onlyteaches us about the resilience of the early church but provides a vision for how we might be morefaithful in our current moment through the recovery of its doctrines and mode of culturalengagement. This is not a dry history of dates, names, and abstract ideas but a call to a richproject of retrieval--a chance to sit at the feet of our oldest brothers and sisters and learn fromthem how we might live more fully in the way of Jesus.'--Tish Harrison Warren, Anglican priest,writer-in-residence at Church of the Ascension (Pittsburgh), and author of Liturgy of theOrdinary'So if believers today live in a post-Christian era similar to the early churches' pagan era,what can these early believers teach us? Apparently a lot. So argues Sittser, tantalizing us withancient ideas and practices that can invigorate Christian witness today.'--Mark Galli, editor in chief, Christianity Today'If you're interested in a knowledgeable, insightful, and thoroughintroduction to the life and thought of the ancient church--and the ancient church leaders known asthe church fathers (and church mothers)--this is just the book for you.'--Chris Hall, president ofRenovarÃ©'An exciting, beautifully written, and much-needed book. In a time in which our socialfabric seems to be tearing, Sittser draws on the early centuries of the church to offer a powerfulvision of Christian witness. Sittser's 'Third Way' offers significant promise for a robust renewal ofChristian life and thought.'--L.Â Gregory Jones, Duke Divinity School Read more GeraldÂ L.Sittser (PhD, University of Chicago) is the bestselling author of Water from a Deep Well, A GraceDisguised, and The Will of God as a Way of Life.
