This is the story of a handful of courageous men and their congregations who risked stable occupations, security, and the approval of lifelong friends to be obedient to God's call.

It is also the story of every believer who is searching for the Church. Where Christ is Lord. Where holiness, human responsibility, and the Sovereignty of God are preached. Where fellowship is more than a covered-dish supper in the church basement. And where fads and fashion take a back seat to apostolic worship and doctrine.

This is a book for Christians looking for ways to bring new life to their own churches. It's also a book for those completely dissatisfied-those on their own search. And it's a book for Orthodox Christians looking for renewal.

This revised edition includes a new epilogue, "Coming up on Twenty-Five Years" since the entry of the Evangelical

Orthodox into the Holy Orthodox Church.
