It’s official – we live in a world that’s been turned upside down, but most Christians have no idea how they should respond to the crisis. The vast majority of Christian churches in America are either plateaued or declining, but this decline in numbers is only a surface consequence of deeper spiritual issues. How should Christians respond to the chaos? Should we run and hide, stand and fight, or just kneel and pray? One thing is certain; our current strategy of isolation and separation is not working. What can possibly reverse this social trend and bring spiritual awakening to our society? The only hope for a world turned upside down is a church turned inside out. This is a strong book with a timely message written by a pastor who has lived out what he talks about. Clayton King - Teaching Pastor at Newspring Church This is a captivating read! While the issues in our world are complicated, the point Bray makes is clear and needed: Christians must stop pushing people away from the cross with prejudice, anger, and ignorance. Jeremy Morton - Co-Pastor, FBC Woodstock, GA This book, Inside Out "Gets It!" It's the must read book for Churches and Christians with passion to make a REAL difference in their culture. Bill Purvis - Lead Pastor, Cascade Hills Church How does the church engage a chaotic culture with the gospel without losing its soul? Wayne Bray has provided a useful description of the times in which we live and some valuable prescriptions for how the church can break out of its lethargy and self-absorption and become mission-driven once again. This will be a helpful tool for every church leader for whom "the way we've always done it" isn't good enough. Michael Duduit - Editor of Preaching Magazine Wayne Bray's book, Inside Out, paints an accurate picture of what the world and the church have become, but the truth can get rather painful to acknowledge at times. This book will be a great help to you as you attempt to focus on the main thing, which is after all to keep the main thing the main thing. Brian Stowe - Senior Pastor, First Baptist Church Plant City, FL Inside Out, by Dr. Wayne Bray, will help you stay in love with Jesus' church and its ministry even if you are dismayed by its current civil wars (worship, generationalism, traditions, theology.) His approach to multi generational church shows us how to leave a legacy the young will appreciate at least as much as they admire. Dick Lincoln - Retired Pastor, Shandon Baptist Church Inside Out gets to the root of the challenges that Christian leaders in North America are facing, insightfully moves the reader to reset their thinking, and gives tools and encouragement to move a congregation to minister inside out in an upside down culture. This book is well worth the time for any leader who desires to grow and to make an impact on their community. Steve Parr - VP of Staff Development, Georgia Baptist Mission Board Distraction, division and discouragement characterize the American church in a culture marked by tribalism and hostility. Two thirds of our churches are declining or dying while whole communities have no access to the gospel in a way that is culturally relevant. Bray argues forcefully that the answer is to turn the church "inside out" by dying to self and equipping our people for missionary living. This book is a clarion call to action, unity and new life for the local church.
