Everywhere You Look

Discovering the Church Right Where You Are

By: Tim Soerens, Walter Brueggemann - foreword

Narrated by: Jim Denison

What's the point of the church anyway?

The emerging generation is opting out of the church in large numbers. They're embarrassed at how the church is portrayed in the media and dismayed at what appears to be their options for participation. Is church really necessary anymore? Is it even possible?

Tim Soerens sees this unsettled state of affairs as an extraordinary opportunity: The church, he says, is on the edge of a new possibility at the very moment so much of it feels like it's falling apart. In his extensive travels in all kinds of neighborhoods, Soerens has seen the beginnings of this movement firsthand. In Everywhere You Look, he lays out practical, actionable steps for building collaborative communities in any neighborhood.

Here is a vision of the church grounded in a grassroots movement of ordinary people living out what it means to be the church in their everyday lives. Listen to this book-and join the movement.

Do, and be, the church

Observing how and where God is at work, listen, come alongside. Be the church instead of attending church.

Principles plus Practices = Doing Church

This is a refreshing book for Christians of all types, across the theological spectrum. It is oriented to the vital role churches and neighborhood groups which are not "churches" can play in social justice, meeting local (or broader) needs, creating an economy of well being, not merely money. Highly recommended.

This thinking changed my worldview

This book powerfully ushers us through what “church” can be if it truly engages it’s own context.

When seeking God’s dream for our neighborhood instead of our own, there is new potential, new motivation, and new outcomes.

Refreshing in its simplicity and scope, it gives new eyes to see. Absolutely wonderful.
