Powerless And Irrelevant - Paperback

by Niall Walshe (Author)

This book on how Christians can achieve individual and corporate

spiritual renewal:

• Teaches New Covenant doctrines freed from Old Covenant doctrines,
• Presents the teachings of Jesus with inaccurate cultural overlays removed,
• Corrects erroneous traditional Biblical teachings,
• Biblically corrects wrong church practices,
• Points the way forward for those who wish to implement the teachings in the book.

This book conveys a highly encouraging message: Christians can rediscover the gospel as Jesus intended it to be understood by those genuinely listening to Him. This renewed understanding will lead to transformed individual Christians and a revitalized Church, with a clearer grasp of the Gospel message. As a result, that message will be more effectively lived out through individuals, influencing society at large.

What Others Say About This Book:

This powerful and timely book, Powerless and Irrelevant: How society sees the Church and how to radically change that view, offers a deeply insightful and courageous examination of the Church's present spiritual crisis within times of hardship. The author reveals how the Church's perceived irrelevance isn't just because of a chaotic world, but because we've unknowingly mixed the Old and New Covenants together in ways that have led us to a misconception that drains our power and clarity on God's word.

It explains why Bible interest is rising yet church attendance is low, and explores a generation hungering for hope, truth and meaning behind what's being preached within our churches worldwide. The author unpacks this paradox with compassion and deep biblical insight.

The way theological truths are explained is both profound and easy to understand. It challenged me to rethink how I approach God not through performance, but through the fullness of grace offered in Christ.

A must-read for any Christian daring to ask, not just what the church should do - but what the church must become.

-James Hodgkin, Anglican Churches Worship Leader, London UK

About the Author:

Unsaved, materialistic and working in Saudi Arabia. That was the author's situation when God stepped in. The author carried with him - purely through habit - a Bible. One day in Saudi Arabia he started reading that Bible out of a genuine desire to understand it. God spoke to him through His Word, showing him he was lost - hell-bound. He surrendered to the sovereignty of God in his life. "...life in all its fullness" began.
