Building Up the Church

Building Up the Church: Live Experiments in Faith, Hope, and Love, the companion volume to Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove's book, New Monasticism: What It Has to Say to Today's Church (2008), is a practical study guide to invite the church to imagine that 'another ways is possible' as it lives into its identity as 'God's peculiar people' (Titus 2:14). Its stories, reflection questions, and suggested exercises are designed to catalyze local churches and Christian communities into becoming 'laboratories for the gospel kingdom'--that is, communities that serve the living God and their neighbors by carrying out experiments in faith, hope, and love.
