This book calls for revolution--the revolution that must take place if the churches in America are to thrive and to fulfill the Great Commission. It studies a number of apostolic congregations from various traditions and assorted geographical locations that are successfully reaching the unchurched.

Hunter discusses the rebirth of the apostolic congregation, Christianity's vision of what people can become, how small groups shape an apostolic people, how lay ministry advances the Christian movement, and how apostolic churches reach secular people.

This work shows that there is an apostolic way for a congregation to live out the gospel, and here is why church leaders think so:

"George Hunter hits the nail on the head with this practical and encouraging guide to church-based evangelism."-Steve Sjogren, Senior Pastor, Vineyard Community Church, Cincinnati, Ohio.

"This is a groundbreaking book.  What sets it apart from all the others is that it is based on hard data and real life examples...If you want to know what is really happening in the so-called Seeker churches, this book is a must read." --Rick Warren, Senior Pastor, Saddleback Community Church, Mission Viejo, California

"Our commitment to the rebirth of apostolic congregations will be greatly enhanced by this book." --John Ed Mathison, Frazier Memorial United Methodist Church, Montgomery, Alabama

"Apostolic churches present a tremendous challenge to stagnant traditional churches.  It is required reading for all who yearn to see the growth of the church." --Sir Alan Walker, Australia
