The Churches of Christ and Christian Churches comprise two of the principle fellowships to evolve from the American Restoration Movement-a movement fueled by the desire to abolish denominational borders and boundaries that have long divided the Christian community in hopes of building a brotherhood inclusive of all genuine followers of Jesus Christ. Nearly two centuries later, however, many within these two fellowships have abandoned the work of restoration and the hope of a united Christian fellowship. In Restoring the Restoration Movement, authors N.R. Kehn and Scott Bayles, with clever insight and a conversational tone, take a look "under the hood" at many of the doctrines that have divided the Churches of Christ and Christian Churches from each other and from mainstream evangelical Christianity in general-all in hopes of returning to the on-going work of restoration and to the original ideals of the Restoration Movement and true Biblical Christianity. N.R. Kehn has been a longtime member of Churches of Christ. With a secular degree in Network Administration and ongoing education in Software Engineering, Nathan combines impeccable logic with diligent Bible study. He currently serves in various capacities at the Florissant Church of Christ in Saint Louis, MO, where he also resides with his two sons, Nathan II and D.W. Scott Bayles is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman University and has preached for numerous Churches of Christ within the United States and abroad. He is also the author of The Greatest Commands: Learning to Love like Jesus. Currently, he serves as the preaching minister for First Christian Church of Rosiclare, IL, where he lives with his wife and two children.

When asked what he believed was the most important command God ever issued, Jesus replied, "The most important command is this. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. The second command is this: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. There are no commands more important than these" (Mark 12:29-31 NCV). These two commands form the foundation of Christianity, yet Jesus himself is the only person to ever keep them completely. In The Greatest Commands: Learning to Love like Jesus, author Scott Bayles delves deeply into the life and love of Jesus in an attempt to draw closer to the heart of Christ and discover the true meaning of loving God and loving people. Scott Bayles is a graduate of Freed-Hardeman University and the preaching minister for First Christian Church in Rosiclare, Illinois, where he lives with his wife Ashley and their two children-Yeshua and Sarai. He loves God and loves the people that God has put in his life.
