A 'dangerous church' is a church that is vibrant, compelling and one that is not afraid to take a risk. There are no barriers in achieving their one priority: to reach people who have lost touch with God. The dangerous church is generous, embracing, and determined to fulfill its potential. It wants to risk everything so that it can reach everyone.

In 'Dangerous Church,' John Bishop confronts churches who have gravitated to safe and familiar territory, encouraging them to adopt a fresh and more daring approach. The author acknowledges that taking risks is bound to lead to some kind of failure along the way - the results in the long run, however, will over-power any previous failure by ensuring that God's word is respected by all.

After all, it is God's wish for us to live by faith, not by fear of failure. It is therefore our duty, Bishop argues, to adopt a 'dangerous church' approach so that everybody can be reached with God's word.

"Most churches and pastors are failing to reach lost people with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Rather than feeling guilty or getting defensive, they should read this book and be ignited with a Spirit-given passion to see people saved." — Mark Driscoll, Pastor, Mars Hill Church
