The Prevailing Church: Confronting the Five Giants of Culture

It's Time for the Church to Rise Up!

Is there a biblical mandate for cultural transformation?

How are the people of God to live as salt and light in a world full of chaos, division, and cultural giants that seem unconquerable?

The Prevailing Church: Confronting the Five Giants of Culture is a challenge to today's American church to declare the kindness of God and call our community and culture to repentance and humility before the person and work of Jesus Christ. Dr. John Jackson believes God is calling forth a generation of spirit-filled and spirit-empowered followers of Jesus Christ to live and walk in heavenly ambassadorships where they extend the kingdom of heaven on earth. God is calling us to:
...wake up and see the destructive forces that have been unleashed in our midst,
...rise up and strengthen our hearts and hands for the work that is before us, and
...stir up the gifts of the Spirit within us and walk in the power of the resurrection.

By engaging the five greatest giants of culture in our day, the prevailing church of Jesus Christ will indeed defeat them, just as David conquered the mighty Goliath with only a slingshot and five smooth stones. As a church, we no longer have to live in fear, because with God's help, we can mobilize the people of God wherever they work, live, and serve for tremendous kingdom impact. The Prevailing Church is a must-read for Christians who are tired of living in fear, cowering to today's "mighty" giants. See how the authority of the words of Jesus and the power of His resurrection declares the end of a passive, weak, disengaged, fear-filled church.

What people have to say:

"The body of Christ so desperately needs to learn how to influence society in such a way that people are drawn to us. We have the answers to the world's problems, but have been fumbling our God-given assignment. It is not time for us to cower in the corner of adversity; it is time for us to shine! This is our greatest moment. That's why I'm eager for you to read Dr. John Jackson's new book, The Prevailing Church. His compelling words will remind you that Jesus created us to be the salt and light of the world, to transform the culture around us and change the world!

John Jackson is a father in the Lord who relentlessly pursues the kingdom and exudes wisdom and grace. He simply and practically breaks down keys and concepts that will embolden you to become a catalyst to bring the kingdom and cultural transformation wherever you go. As Dr. Jackson puts it, "Our world is desperately in need of the light and life of the gospel. We have the opportunity to demonstrate that light and life by the way we love and live engaged in culture, not isolated from it." I couldn't agree more and am thankful for this timely and crucial book. I highly recommend it."

"With a wisdom rooted in a deep understanding of Scripture and a warmth rooted in his love for people, John discusses how to renew and revive the church in America, that it might truly seek justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God, so that His kingdom will come and His will be done, on earth as it is in heaven (Micah 6:8; Matthew 6:10). If you desire to see the church in America restored, and if you are ready to face your giants, read this book."
