The Church of Irresistible Influence: Bridge-Building Stories to Help Reach Your Community

An inspiring description and story showing how a church can become an irresistible influence on its neighborhood, community, and world by building bridges over troubled waters to a dying culture through showing the love of God in action.

With compelling metaphors, Jesus described the church and its impact on the world: a city set on a hill, inescapably visible. A lit lamp brilliantly illuminating the darkest room.

And indeed, filled with the Holy Spirit, the early church demonstrated a spiritual energy and depth that transformed the surrounding culture. Don’t let your church settle for less! Using bridges as a metaphor for “irresistible influence”--or i2, as he calls it--Robert Lewis shows how your church can become a strong, well-traveled link between heaven and earth in your community.

• In this engaging and uplifting book, Lewis tells the stories and shares the experiences and lessons of Fellowship Bible Church to show:
• What it will take to reconnect your church with your community.
• The how-to’s of “incarnational bridge building”
• True stories of i2 in action
• How to expand the i2 effort through new partnerships and adventures
• Requirements of the church in the 21st century
