About This hardback
Charismatic Renewal has at the core of its ideology an aspiration for revival. This is a laudable aspiration, but in recent years, in the absence of a large-scale evangelistic impact, it has encouraged a faddist mentality among church leaders. The Gospel Driven Church documents this development and the numerous theological and pastoral distortions that take place when genuine revival fervour transmutes into revivalism. Moreover, Stackhouse aims to show how a retrieval of some of the core practices of the church, such as preaching, sacraments, the laying of hands and prayer is essential at this crucial stage in the trajectory of the renewal movement in the UK. He commends to church leaders a recovery of these means of grace - including Spirit baptism - as a way of keeping the church centred on gospel rather than mere pragmatic concerns about size and numbers.

Biblical and Spiritual Direction for Church Leaders - Pam, Eden.co.uk staff member
This is a must for church leaders who are steering their congregation through charismatic renewal, trying to discern the direction of the Holy Spirit while sticking to sound Biblical principles. Ian Stackhouse discusses the place of the traditional practices of preaching, the sacraments, the laying on of hands and prayer as a means of remaining gospel centred. He looks at a number of models of leadership. This is a serious look at some of the issues facing the church today.
