Based on real questions from real people in the real world. I would
recommend this book to anyone investigating what Christianity is
all about, and, as ever from Michael Green, it's brilliant stuff!'
Andy Hawthorne, Director of The Message Trust 'Religious people are
too intolerant.' 'You can't trust what is in the Bible.' 'Science
has disproved Christianity.' 'There's too much suffering in the
world.' 'Something 2,000 years ago can't be relevant to me today.'
Michael Green has responded to each of these statements in a direct
and informal way, giving his Christian perspective on the opinions
expressed. His easy style engages readers and shows how the Bible
and Christian beliefs can provide a real faith for life. This book
may even help you believe in spite of your buts...
Most Christians think they know what makes people tick. But do
they? If the truth be told, this is often more anecdotal than
factual. Are the unchurched hostile, ill-informed or simply
disengaged? Is it God, Christianity, Christians or the church that
puts people off? Is it people's own lives, their beliefs, attitudes
and habits that prevent them from exploring Christianity? 'The
Responsive Church' aims to find out the answers to these questions
and more. Drawing upon research from London Institute of
Contemporary Christianity, author Nick Spencer explores the
landscape of twenty-first-century religions and spiritual beliefs.
His findings are fascinating. But it doesn't end there. While
listening closely and critically to what people are saying, Graham
Tomlin listens to what God is saying throughout the Bible:
Scripture is after all the touchstone by which we need to measure
all things, the light in which we need to walk. Sometimes listening
to critics of the church helps us to see things we have never
noticed before. And if the voices from outside tell us where we
are, we can expect Scripture to point us to where we need to go
from here. 'Our hope is that this exercise will enable Christians
to become more attuned, both to the God who still speaks to his
church and to those people whom he loves but who do not yet find
church attractive, credible or satisfying, ' write the authors.
'Perhaps by listening to both, it can help bring the two together.'

For a secular age, we have a lot of religious politicians.Theresa
May, Vladimir Putin, Angela Merkel, even Donald Trump all profess
Christianity, as did Obama, Brown, Sarkozy, Bush and Blair before
them. Indeed, it is striking how many Christian Presidents and
Prime Ministers have assumed the global stage over recent years. In
spite of Alastair Campbell's oft- (and mis-) quoted line, 'We don't
do God', it seems like we definitely do.But how sincere is this
faith? Is not much of it simply window-dressing for the electorate,
paste-on haloes to calm the moral majority? Conversely, how
dangerous is it? If we elect our politicians to do our democratic
will, do we really want them praying to God for advice?The Mighty
and the Almighty looks at some of the biggest political figures of
the past forty years - from Thatcher and Reagan, through Mandela
and Clinton, to May and Trump - and looks at how they 'did God'.
Did their faith actually shape their politics, and if so, how? Or
did their politics shape their faith? And does it matter if it
did?In an age when religion is more important on the global stage
than anyone would have predicted fifty years ago, this book will
tell you everything you want to know, and some things you won't,
about how the Mighty get on with the Almighty.
