Summary:

The Mainliner's Survival Guide to the Post-Denominational World considers how the declining church should live into the hope of its legacy by living out the Gospel's radical nature with reckless abandon. In a world where the fastest growing religious self-designation among emerging generations is "none, " the hope of the church may lie in worrying less about the survival of the church and aiming more toward living like Jesus.
