Product Description

Most people visit a church for the first time either by invitation or reputation. Many books have been written on the subject of personal evangelism and the importance of being a bringer. This book, however, explores the power of reputation specifically, God's reputation as upheld and reflected in a church's culture. Based on the story of the Queen of Sheba's visit to King Solomon and how her initial encounter with his kingdom left her breathless and astounded, this book explores the profound effect a church's culture can have on the heart of a seeker as they pursue rumors of King Jesus and His Kingdom. It warns that Kingdom culture doesn't happen by chance, but only as every member of the King's household lays down their own comfortable and familiar culture to surrender instead to the common culture of Heaven. This book has been written to inspire every Christian to vigilantly uphold Heaven's culture when living, loving, and serving in the Father's House in their local church. It implores us all not to waste another minute in engaging our God-given gifts and talents to create Heaven on Earth so that the Kingdom of God might be revealed in all of its glory to a world that is in desperate need of its wisdom, power, and atmosphere. Only then, having tasted Heaven, will lost people truly desire to seek out this Kingdom's magnificent King!
