LONGWOOD, FL-Unity attracts. Disunity, division, and controversy present an ugly caricature of Christ and repels. As the worldÕs largest Protestant Christian denomination, Southern BaptistsÑas well as countless other groups and churches by the thousandsÑcontinue to publicly debate issues which have simple solutions. Here are some, to name a few: worship wars, Calvinism, elder rule, preaching style, private prayer language, and tithing in the New Testament. Veteran author John B. Bisagno's Inside Information: Worship Wars, Calvinism, Elder Rule, and Much More! ($15.99, paperback, 978-1-60477-068-1) offers fresh new insights to solve this problem of disunity in the church.
Says Bisagno, "The witness of American church is being lost by constant division. Here are never before heard answers. The sermons in this book have brought instant peace to many churches in great conflict, [as well as] an understanding of the true nature of God's massive church conflicts and the tools to resolve them and bring the unity so absolutely essential to church growth."
Well known as "the pastor's pastor," Bisagno travels the world, bringing healing where there is church or denominational disunity. And the proof is in the pudding: his pastorate of 30 years in First Baptist Church of Houston was marked by an unprecedented era of total harmony and unity, and this continues eight years after his retirement. His devotion to this goal of healing disunity in our churches comes from the fact that Jesus prayed five times for the unity of the body of Christ so that "the world may believe You sent Me."
