Book excerpt: In a day when our churches look like country clubs with slick marketing campaigns, Jeremy McKim urges us away from a democratized kingdom of self and toward the kingdom of God. We have settled for safe and comfortable churchgoing while God beckons us toward risky and uncomfortable kingdom living. With 'Doxa', McKim shows that God's invitation is greater and more terrifying than any in all of history -Why is ignoring God the riskiest thing you could possibly do today? - Is God intent on crushing your ego? - What is so unpatriotic and humiliating about worshiping God? - Why might a worthwhile churchgoing experience have little or nothing to do with our satisfaction? - Why is prayer a life-threatening activity? Allow yourself to be troubled and moved to action by these and other questions as you enter into a provocative and practical ten-week journey of transformation, discovery, and kingdom advancement. Discover that God has graciously chosen to display his glory in those who would simply hear and do. Become the adopted son or daughter of the King whose unshakable kingdom is moving forward with or without you, and answer his call to enter and participate in that kingdom.
