Jerry Cook Livres

Focusing on the church's role in society, Jerry Cook urges Christians to engage with non-believers beyond traditional church settings. He advocates for a shift in perspective, suggesting that believers are strategically positioned by Jesus to reach out rather than waiting for others to come to them. By referencing the book of Ephesians, Cook critiques conventional ministry approaches and introduces a transformative vision for living out one's faith, emphasizing active participation in the world to make a meaningful impact for God.

How can the church be a healing force in the world? In this longtime bestseller, now revised and updated, authors Jerry Cook and Stanley C. Baldwin suggest that it is only when believers admit their own brokenness that they can love, accept, and forgive those who are hurting around them and put out the welcome mat to their community. They offer clear teaching about the church in a hurting world. As veteran leaders who practice these principles, they speak from experience, not theory. Through touching true stories and practical guidelines for connecting with fallen, sinful people, Cook and Baldwin announce the good news. The church is not broken, and it is the broken people who can change the world.
