In a world where the toxicity of the contemporary Western church is regularly and often justifiably highlighted, this volume explores how churches can be places of hope. God's plan is that churches become communities of transformation and restoration, both for individuals and for wider society. Gathering the voices of practitioners, biblical scholars, systematic theologians, practical theologians, and counsellors, this work offers a multidisciplinary exploration of how, guided by the Spirit of God, we can positively create and sustain flourishing churches which nurture both individuals and the wider community.
