The risen Jesus sends his disciples out as "witnesses of repentance and the forgiveness of sins" in his name. In a time of uncertainty for the western church--particularly for "mainline" congregations--this commission offers a simple framework for faithful, contextual work and witness, growing in the way of the God who sets captives free and raises the dead. One part call to action, one part celebration of the miracle that is the local church, Witnesses of These Things is an invitation to grab hold of the life that is truly life for which each one of us and this God-beloved world are made.
