It is a profound examination of church dynamics that dispels many myths and reveals that parishioners want a church rooted in love-love in the pulpit, in the pews, and in the community. They want relevance in a noisy world, purpose in their service, and missions that matter. They want to experience the unconditional love of Christ in tangible, healing, and life-giving ways-and pass that legacy on to future generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michelle Jefferson Atkins,DiAnn Dawson,Gerri Barnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218939847\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sisters of the Pen, LLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/27\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 170\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.52lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.36d","brand":"Michelle Jefferson Atkins","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48621633536255,"sku":"9798218939847","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-church-folk-want-michelle-jefferson-atkins-9798218939847","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
