"Jesus undoubtedly wants his church to flourish. However, in our post-Christendom culture, as churches are continually pushed from the center to the margins, pastors are increasingly anxious. In Non-Anxious Churches , Mark Knight offers both a timely warning and a pastoral exhortation that will have an immediate impact on your church's vitality. If you are a pastor, elder, or ministry leader, this is a must-read!" --Adam Barnett, Lead Pastor, Redeemer Church "Under the relentless weight of anxiety, this is a timely book for churches. Pastor Mark Knight puts his finger on some of the issues that we all feel yet struggle to fully recognize, and offers fresh insights as a road map to vitality and strength. This resource is a must-read for any church leader." --John Carroll, Director, Dallas Willard Ministries' School of Kingdom Living "I've known Mark Knight for nearly ten years. He is one of the most affable, approachable, and wise pastors I know.
All that and more comes across in his book Non-Anxious Churches . Mark's history as a pastor's kid, youth pastor, and senior pastor all come together to paint a picture of where the church has been and where it could go. Non-Anxious Churches is timely and is what the future church should be." --Eddie Johnson, Area Director, Lakewood/Steilacoom Young Life "Our world has never been more anxious . The church often tragically follows suit, appropriating our culture's fears rather than contradicting them. Mark Knight has written a powerful call for anyone, in any church, at any time, to be the non-anxious presence our terrified world deeply needs. Check this book out. You'll love the church more, and you'll know how to lead it into deeper health.
