The Forgotten Church Urges Christians to Restore Christ’s Plan for the Local Church

DALLAS - Jan. 15, 2014 - PRLog -- If you're knowledgable about the Christian faith, you know that Jesus Christ has a Church--His bride--who graciously and unapologetically shares His glorious Gospel to all who have an ear. However, in our American culture, many Christians can attest to how divided the church really is. Onlookers can find more of a political and organizational design than a unit of believers who band themselves together in pursuit of one mission. Gary Sprinkle, author of The Forgotten Church (ISBN 978-0-9910489-0-8, $15.99, NyreePress) contends that the local church should work together as a family unit for the cause of Christ. He calls upon local churches to move away from an organizational expression to a relational expression, through building authentic relationships with Christ followers in their own city.

"I hope this book, at the very least, will begin a conversation among the people of the Lord Jesus- about the Church in your city, what I am calling, The Forgotten Church," Gary Sprinkle says in his preface.

The Forgotten Church, a balanced book of theological truths and encouragement, shares poignant principles for Christians who are interested in operating within a New Testament structure. Chapter titles include: Uniting for Him, Honoring His Design, Honoring His Description, Expressing His Love and Demonstrating His Power.

"I hope we can be delivered from a sectarian view of the Church as we consider our relationship to every member of the Body of Christ. I hope we can begin a dialogue about how we can better relate and communicate to one another as members of His Church," he says.

"Gary Sprinkle's heart for inspiring the church to unite is simply astounding and refreshing," says Kennisha Hill, President and CEO of NyreePress. “He does an incredible job of showing us who we are in Christ—according to scripture—and who we should be for each other. I'm thrilled about the lives this message will touch for God's glory!"

The Forgotten Church is now available at major online retailers like Amazon and Barnes and Noble, and will be available on e-readers.
