Author Doug Franklin encourages Christians to take off their masks and embrace who they are in Stop Playing Church: A Call for Authentic Discipleship ($12.49, paperback, 9781662838910; $5.99, e-book, 9781662838927).
Franklin spent years doing Christianity, but still felt empty and sure that there must be something more. He found others who felt the same, and focused his attention on finding a real faith in a real God. Now he shares the results of his search with anyone who’s ready to move forward from organized religion.
“This book is for Christians who are tired of just going through the motions and church leaders who desire to lead people to deeper love and commitment to Christ. It is about spiritual disciplines and discipleship that takes seriously who we are, who God is, and living in relationship with Christ,” said Franklin.
Doug Franklin is Lead Pastor of North Star UMC in Kansas City, MO and an adjunct professor at North Central Missouri College. He graduated from the University of Central Missouri, received his MDiv from Saint Paul School of Theology, and is an ordained Elder in the United Methodist Church. Franklin and his wife Nicole have been married over 25 years and have four children.
