Revolution in the Church: Challenging the Religious System with a Call for Radical Change
Revolution in the Church
Revolution in the Church looks at the need for a spiritual revolution, not only in the church, but ultimately in the world.
In a dynamic and lively writing style, Michael Brown exposes erroneous practices and beliefs popular today, challenging you to make some radical transformations. He explores the biblical pattern of leadership, the meaning of true discipleship, the Jewish roots of our faith, and other issues facing the church today.
With its timely and revealing message, Revolution in the Church will be a welcome corroboration of the revolution already taking place in your church—or a penetrating wake-up call to action.
Praise for Revolution in the Church
Revolution is not ‘rebelution.’ It is birthed in the spirit and through a right heart. It is the same radical call to live as Jesus did. . . . This book is not for contented pew-sitters or self-satisfied leaders, but for humble, hungry hearts who want more of Jesus.

Top Highlights
“‘The most permanent fate of God’s word is that for its sake the world is put into uproar. For the sermon of God comes in order to change and revive the whole earth to the extent that it reaches it.’” (Page 13)
“Tragically, this theology of defeat produces a mentality of retreat, and this was exactly what happened in the 1960s.” (Page 28)
“Go through the entire New Testament and look up every reference to ekklesia. Without exception ekklesia refers to a people, not a place; to a fellowship, not a facility; to a body, not a building.” (Page 42)
“Submission is a matter of attitude, while obedience is a matter of conduct.” (Page 91)
“If we want to see God’s purposes for His Church fulfilled in our communities, we must come to the place where we realize that we ourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in us (see 1 Corinthians 3:16); that we are God’s building (1 Corinthians 3:9); that in Jesus we are ‘being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit’ (Ephesians 2:22); that we, ‘like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ’ (1 Peter 2:5).” (Page 47)
