Rick Renner personally interviewed Tony Cooke about his new book, The End of Spectator Church. Rick says, “When I first read this book, I knew it would be an important book to offer on my TV program. I can’t think of a better book to equip and prepare the Body of Christ to get out of the bleachers and onto the playing field, because the stakes are eternal!” https://renner.org/product/the-end-of-the-spectator-church-with-tony-cooke/ For many Christians, church involves attending an occasional Sunday service and sitting in the audience. Virtually ineffective and having minimal impact, we have embraced a consumer Christianity that creates little but passive believers. Yet the Church is meant for so much more! Tony Cooke challenges this all-too-common scenario with biblical and historical evidence that paints a radically different picture. With contagious zeal and encouragement, Tony mobilizes the body of Christ to action by reminding each of us that we are to be servants, not spectators, who radiate life to those lost and without hope. https://renner.org/product/the-end-of-the-spectator-church-by-tony-cooke/
