Even as the sound of modern worship has grown louder, the heartbeat of true worship has grown faint. This is a call for those whose hearts burn to see it revived - who burn with reformation’s fire. Who long to see the purity of worship restored and the Lord’s house of prayer once again reflect the fullness of his glory and the wonders of his heart.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
For decades, we set our hopes on technology, politics, and the appearance of peace. We wanted to believe we were headed somewhere better - that progress was happening. But now, as our technology ensnares and isolates us, our politics threaten to tear us apart and our cultural decline continues to accelerate, people are understandably distressed. But throughout history, these periods of decline traditionally precede powerful spiritual renewal - and even revival. What if all the bad news in this world is actually good news for the church?

While many churches talk about discerning calling and engaging in mission, very few are structured to make this their ministry focus. Underground Church is a new vision for the church rooted in its biblical mission to share the love of God and serve the poor. Sanders explores how to make structural changes, how to think about leadership, how to fund ministries, and how to truly engage people in God's mission. Filled with creative insights, he explains what it means to center the mission of the church around the callings of individuals to outward ministry.

Publisher's Summary
Christianity is a surprising religion. It has changed the world in remarkable ways throughout history simply through Christians living out their faith. More recently, we've become afraid of a habituated Christianity, thinking that routines will rob our faith of its vitality. The net effect is that we've replaced the habits that surprise the world with habits that mimic the world―and both we and the world suffer for it.
Integrating the five habits in the BELLS model - Bless others, Eat together, Listen to the Spirit, Learn Christ, and understand yourself as Sent by God into others' lives - will help you spread the gospel organically, graciously, and surprisingly.
Michael Frost, a world-renowned expert on evangelism and discipleship, makes evangelism a lifestyle that is fulfilling, exciting, effective, and easy to live out!

Hoping for for Biblical Support
The first two habits seem well supported by New Testament example but when he brings up listening to the Spirit I was hoping for a New Testament insight and didn’t really get that. Listening to the Spirit IS reading the Bible so, to me, habits 3 and 4 were two parts of the same habit.

Helpful, practical discipleship resource
Great book for thinking through how you live out your faith, and easy to imagine how this can be used in a small group setting. Five simple areas of personal self-assessment, new goal setting, and accountability.

good but author needed to make clear his worldview
This book has left me with much to ponder as a pastor and church planter. However, as a queer Christian, I was blindsided when Frost threw in a comment that conflated the LGBTQ community with those who are not Christians. These categories do not necessarily overlap and I was frustrated that the author hadn't owned his worldview earlier in the book.
