Summary
Many people are negative about the church - including some within it. But the church of Jesus Christ is the apple of God's eye, and is absolutely key to God's plans for the future of the world.

To see the church as God sees it could be your first step to bringing in the future God has in store.

'There is a desperate need to recover biblical Christianity and reproduce it through vibrant churches scattered all around the world... My appeal, therefore, is that rather than give up on the church and anticipate her dimise, we give our best energies to her success, knowing that Christ is determined to have a glorious bride, worthy of his own majesty and might.'

Terry Virgo finds in the heart of Paul's great epistle to the Ephesians a solid ground for future hope.

The material for this book was taken from a series of talks given at recent Newfrontiers Leadership and New Wine conferences.
