About 8 years ago well known pastor gave me a copy of the book "Houses that changed the world" written by Wolfgang Simpson. I must confess that I do not often read books about the church especially the last ten years of my life. This book – one of the few that I have actually read changed my life completely. This book was the starting point that put me on a journey questioning most of what I believed up to then to be true about church. With my basic training in Theology just completed the book inspired me to look at the church (and many aspects of the church) in my Masters in Theology studies.
This book is a must read! I would recommend this book to everyone even to those that do not believe in the house church movement. At this point I need to emphasize again that I do not advocate the house church movement and that I believe in the church in various forms fulfilling various needs in society. However we need to question that which we thought to be true for so long. I challenge you to read the book and be inspired.
Millions of Christians around the world are becoming aware of an imminent reformation of global proportions within the church. God is changing this revered institution and is making a new collective awareness of an age-old revelation, a corporate spiritual echo that reflects God’s desire for the church. In this book, Simson brings to light what God is saying to Christians everywhere. Researched across the globe, he presents the case for the reformation of the church’s existence. In a world where the church is being ignored, it is time to bring the church to the people and not the people to the church. Whether it is what we know as church from the last five years or the last five hundred years, no one has truly been able to break free from the structures of the past. Many may see this book as radical, many may see it as a reforming of old ideals but all who read it will be challenged and their priorities refocused in a life-changing way.
