"The church of today struggles to be effective because in many ways it bears little resemblance to the church of the first century." - Jason Homan In "Before the Box," author Jason Homan takes us on a journey through the church describing the boxes (traditions, expectations, and extremes) in which modern Christianity has encased itself. To move forward in our spiritual lives and to make our churches most effective for Jesus, we must get back to a time before these traditions, expectations, and extremes, a time "Before the Box."
