Standing tall and firm in the midst of the "Purpose Driven Storm". Many churches are riding the faddish waves of our times, having "Gone To Market" to find people to pack their pews. However, some churches are trying to "Stay Home", i.e., stay true to Scripture.

But, the pressures mount, temptations to increase membership no matter the spiritual cost abound, Satan's deceptions are repackaged, and the filthy schemes of the world become more and more irresistable.

Dr. Gilley explores the manifold pressures of conservative churches to sell out to modern trends and "innovations", including the recent trend to embrace "mystical theology".

Churches toying with "new measures" will be challenged to remain true to the historic doctrines of the Christian faith, and to remain faithful to God's chosen means of converting sinners to Himself -- the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Pastors, seminary students, church leaders and Christians who want God's Word to be paramount in their lives will find this book a timely message to a Christian sub-culture falsely fixated on marketing -- "merchandising" -- the glorious Gospel.
