Parable ChurchHow the Teachings of Jesus Shape the Culture of Our Faith\nAuthor(s): Mike Burnette, John Driver, Chris Hodges\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Zondervan, United States\nImprint: Zondervan\nISBN-13: 9780310113010, 978-0310113010\nSynopsis\nUnpacks unique insights from Jesus' parables that can help us understand and experience the full, transformative life in community we are divinely intended to live.\n\nChrist never actually told us how to \""do church.\"" Yes, he had a lot to say about the church, but what he did say was mostly unrelated to stylistic issues or contextual trends. He never spoke about its leadership hierarchies or the pros and cons of denominational fellowships or the types of music. And yet, much of our time and energy as leaders and shepherds is consumed by chasing after tips, tricks, and secrets to \""grow\"" churches.\n\nWhile we've tended to focus on church growth through strategies, programs, and metric-based insights, Christ always focused on the heart.
