Is there a biblical mandate for cultural transformation?
How are the people of God to live as salt and light in a world full of chaos, division, and cultural giants that seem unconquerable?
The Prevailing Church: Confronting the Five Giants of Culture is a challenge to today's American church to declare the kindness of God and call our community and culture to repentance and humility before the person and work of Jesus Christ. Dr. John Jackson believes God is calling forth a generation of spirit-filled and spirit-empowered followers of Jesus Christ to live and walk in heavenly ambassadorships where they extend the kingdom of heaven on earth. God is calling us to:By engaging the five greatest giants of culture in our day, the prevailing church of Jesus Christ will indeed defeat them, just as David conquered the mighty Goliath with only a slingshot and five smooth stones. As a church, we no longer have to live in fear, because with God's help, we can mobilize the people of God wherever they work, live, and serve for tremendous kingdom impact. The Prevailing Church is a must-read for Christians who are tired of living in fear, cowering to today's mighty giants. See how the authority of the words of Jesus and the power of His resurrection declares the end of a passive, weak, disengaged, fear-filled church.
The body of Christ so desperately needs to learn how to influence society in such a way that people are drawn to us. We have the answers to the world's problems, but have been fumbling our God-given assignment. It is not time for us to cower in the corner of adversity; it is time for us to shine This is our greatest moment. That's why I'm eager for you to read Dr. John Jackson's new book, The Prevailing Church. His compelling words will remind you that Jesus created us to be the salt and light of the world, to transform the culture around us and change the world
John Jackson is a father in the Lord who relentlessly pursues the kingdom and exudes wisdom and grace. He simply and practically breaks down keys and concepts that will embolden you to become a catalyst to bring the kingdom and cultural transformation wherever you go. As Dr. Jackson puts it, Our world is desperately in need of the light and life of the gospel. We have the opportunity to demonstrate that light and life by the way we love and live engaged in culture, not isolated from it. I couldn't agree more and am thankful for this timely and crucial book. I highly recommend it.

In The Lamb's Agenda Samuel Rodriguezoffers a blueprint for Christian rejuvenation, a prophetic call to orient ourlives at the nexus of the cross.
Joining the Christianityof Martin Luther King Jr. and Billy Graham, The Lamb's Agenda reveals the crucial connection between biblical socialjustice and spiritual righteousness. Gettingback to the basics of Christianity means extending our efforts simultaneouslyin the vertical direction of God and the horizontal direction of our neighbors.
In this criticalmoment, begrudging service and empty religiosity must be replaced by thevibrancy of the Lamb's agenda, Christ's plan of redemption in the world. A Third Great Awakening, saysRodriguez, awaits Christians who boldly and joyfully embrace both planks of theSavior's cross: obedience to God and service to others.Una nueva voz, llena de fuerza, pide a los cristianos que vuelvan a su compromiso radical con la cruz.
Todos tenemos una agenda de asuntos personales, comerciales, pol ticos, sociales, inclusive religiosos. Pero cu l es la agenda del cordero? Qu quiere ver Jes s en nuestra tierra y en nuestra vida? Quiere ver personas comprometidas de todo coraz n con un Dios amoroso y digno de adoraci n. Y quiere vernos amar a nuestro pr jimo de la misma manera. Quiere ver nuestras relaciones verticales y horizontales restauradas y sanadas, y nos fortalece con su Esp ritu para lograrlo por medio de su demostraci n de amor en la cruz. La cruz nos indica el camino, y nosotros necesitamos direcci n ahora m s que nunca.
Samuel Rodr guez, una nueva y vibrante voz en el panorama nacional, ve un movimiento que ratifica la renovaci n espiritual y personal, la ortodoxia b blica y la reforma de nuestra cultura y sociedad -acciones inspiradas en la cruz, una a la vez.
Seg n Rodr guez, si los cristianos se adentran en la fe, nuestros mejores d as est n por venir, tanto en los aspectos personales y sociales, como en los espirituales y culturales. Indica que para eso debemos replantearnos todo desde cero, y La agenda del cordero nos ense a c mo hacerlo.
