A fresh breeze is blowing through the church at the beginning of the third millennium.  Preachers aren't telling the same old, stale, worn out stories anymore.  They're connecting with their audiences with fresh illustrations.
  Lay ministers are joining their pastors on the front lines of the battle and are making a difference in their world.  These men and women are not timid--they're world changers.
     Are you a part of the revolution?
     Put up a bookmark before you begin exploring the resources that are available to you here, then dive in. 
     You'll be glad you did . . . and so will the people you touch.

Future Church:  Ministry in a Post-Seeker Age.  Some churches criticize culture, others adapt to it, attempting to be culturally relevant, Future Churches don't do either of those things—they leverage culture to the gospel's advantage.  In Future Church, Jim Wilson presents 7 Fulcrum Points that will give churches real leverage in today's culture.  These 7 Fulcrum Points are illustrated in real-life settings, as Wilson takes us on visits to churches that are utilizing them.
