52 Churches: A Yearlong Journey Encountering God, His Church, and Our Common Faith (Visiting Churches Series)

52 Churches: A Yearlong Journey Encountering God, His Church, and Our Common Faith 
Visit fifty-two churches in a year? Am I crazy? Maybe. 
I spent a year visiting a different Christian church every Sunday: Protestant mainline, evangelical, and charismatic, Roman Catholic, and more. 
I visited a church just like yours. I’m positive. 
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll cringe. 
But 52 Churches doesn’t rip at the modern church. It’s not a church-shopping romp or a mean-spirited journalistic exposé. Instead it’s a gift that offers encouragement, hope, and support to the Christian Church. And I share some suggestions too. 
Written as narrative, 52 Churches calls us to embrace all the branches of Jesus’s church and expand our practice of worshiping God. And I invite you to join me on this personal, spiritual sojourn of discovery. 
Read 52 Churches for education, read it for entertainment, and read it for the insight gained only from visiting a boatload of churches. 
52 Churches is ideal for church leaders, church members, and church outsiders. And if you’re still reading this, it’s perfect for you too.

Peter DeHaan, PhD, often makes religious people squirm, but spiritual seekers cheer. He’s not trying to be provocative, but he seeks truth, even if it makes some people uncomfortable. He yearns for Christians to push past the status quo and reconsider how they practice their faith in every area of their lives. Peter earned his doctorate, awarded with high distinction, from Trinity College of the Bible and Theological Seminary.

The Friends and Foes of Jesus: Discover How People in the New Testament React to God’s Good News 
Jesus Was Loved. He Was Hated. But He Was Never Ignored 
Some people think Jesus was easy-going. Hardly. Everything he did and said sparked passionate reaction. He polarized people. Some adored Jesus to the point of dying for him. But those who feared and hated him ended up killing him. 
If You’ve Never Looked Deep into Both Perspectives . . . It’s Time You Did 
<ul>
<li>Discover the surprising things those who loved him did—and how you can do the same</li>
<li>Dig into those who hated him and avoid their tragic mistakes</li>
<li>See yourself in each character—the good and the bad—and face some fascinating choices</li>
</ul>
Plus, at the end of each example, you’ll find a thought-provoking question that will stir you into action.
Will this book challenge you? Yes. Will it make you uncomfortable (in a positive way)? Absolutely. Will it change your life as you look at the people who surrounded Jesus in a way you’ve never seen them before? Without question. 
Let the revelations begin.

They say there's no such thing as a perfect church. Well, one author decided to test that theory out for himself.\nPeter DeHaan spent an entire year roaming from one church to another, visiting 52 different Christian congregations. In the process he learned what makes these places of worship unique, what makes newcomers feel like they belong, and what cringe-worthy shenanigans are guaranteed to keep visitors from ever coming back.\nIn his travels, Peter learned about different denominations and worship styles as well as what happens when imperfect humans gather together in the name of a perfect God. What he discovered was occasionally funny, always interesting, and at times absurd.\nSo absurd that he wrote a book about his experiences.\n52 CHURCHES is part religious exposé, part travel memoir, and 100% authentic. Peter refuses to hold back his punches. You'll cringe when this Christian author is singled out by a fire-and-brimstone preacher, unnecessarily determined to save his soul out of hell. You'll find yourself thankful that you weren't in Peter's shoes when the pastor told his congregation to greet one another with a holy kiss.\nYou'll read about Christian practices that are far different from your own, and in the process gain a deeper understanding of believers from all walks of life and denominational backgrounds: Protestant mainline, evangelical, and charismatic, Roman Catholic, and more.\nIf you're a pastor trying to engage newcomers, a seasoned church member looking for some chuckles, or a spiritual lurker curious about what goes on beneath the steeples of America's churches today, this book was written for you.\nRead 52 CHURCHES now for an insightful, unforgettable read about the strange and mysterious believers who meet together behind closed doors each and every Sunday.
