Today's church is broken. It's just that most people don't know it.
Does something feel off? For millions of Christians, Sunday morning follows a familiar script: enter a dedicated building, listen to a trained minister, drop money in the offering, and drive home. It feels biblical. It feels right. But what if the entire structure, the building, and the paid pastor, the tithe, belongs to a covenant that Jesus fulfilled two thousand years ago?
In Jesus's Broken Church, lifelong church participant and author Peter DeHaan traces today's church practices back to their surprising source: the Old Testament model of tabernacle, priesthood, and temple tax.
Through Jesus's death and resurrection, every believer became God's temple, a holy priest, and a steward of 100 percent rather than a donor of 10 percent. The early church understood this clearly. They met in homes, shared meals, cared for one another, and relied on the Holy Spirit rather than an institution to lead the way.
Written with the passion of someone who loves the church too much to let her settle for less, this book challenges readers to examine every practice they have never questioned and to consider what a truly New Testament faith community might look like.
Whether you feel called to pursue incremental reform or embrace total transformation, Jesus's Broken Church will permanently change the way you think about gathering, giving, and following Jesus.
