J.P. Moreland issues a call to recapture the drama and power of kingdom living—to cultivate a revolution of Evangelical life, spirituality, thought, and Spirit-led power.

We live in a polarized time. Christians are quick to conceive of themselves either as theologically minded or worship-minded; either thinking Christians or feeling Christians.
