Summary

What should we do now? asks the penetrating question that every committed Christian needs to answer: What has happened to the Christian church and its message? Church attendance is down and Christians have never been perceived more poorly than they are today. Clearly what we have been doing for the last fifty years or so is not working. The question confronts us: Is there something wrong with the gospel of Jesus Christ, or are "we" the problem? Has all the hypocrisy, the corruption, the political pandering, and harsh judgments of everyone but ourselves finally taken its ugly toll?
What we should do now? calls on all Christians to acknowledge our mistakes and failures and for each of us to abandon our misguided ways and priorities. The author summons all true believers back to the roots of the gospel of Jesus Christ as depicted for us in the New Testament.
Dr. Baker reminds all of us that our mission is still the great commission and carefully lays out before us 14 troubling areas in which real change is needed if we are to become the people God has called each of us to be.
What should we do now? reminds us that faith, hope and love are in fact still the answers this world needs to heal the human spirit and bring peace to a fractured and troubled planet.

Author Biography

Doctor Baker is an unwavering advocate for unity in the body of Christ. His call to the entire body of Christian believers is to return to the heart of the gospel as depicted in the New Testament. In his 34 years of pastoral ministry and his 22 years of involvement in Christian education he sadly has never seen a more fractured church. Throughout his life and in all his ministerial endeavors he has been driven by John 13:35, "By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another."
