Once You See: Seven Temptations of the Western Church

ONCE YOU SEE ... Luca Lewis is done with church. It killed his father, and now he wants nothing to do with the whole thing. Yet he can't seem to shake the unwanted conviction that something else is possible. Dr. Jimmy Norris is struggling to lead LifePointe, a waning Atlanta megachurch. He sees that the church desperately needs to change, but clambering after new gimmicks doesn't cut it anymore. Yushua Maalouf, a Yemeni refugee betrayed by his family for his newfound faith, finds himself bewildered by the priorities of the North American church. When these three lives unexpectedly cross, Luca and Jimmy are given a rare glimpse of what Jesus' church could be. But will they look past the scars and stigma of a refugee to see the divine opportunity that stands squarely in front of them? ... YOU CANNOT UNSEE.
