Publisher's Synopsis
God is a radical Democrat ... but not the kind you think. Rather, God is committed to giving power away to people He loves. He is a revolutionary democratizer. Too often we hoard power and accumulate authority, but God has called us to live like He does-continually giving our power away to others in the beautiful mutual submission known as love.
So Loved the World examines how God does that throughout the world and considers how we can live in that spirit too. Authors Daniel S. Ferguson and Lori S. Ferguson provide real-life examples of democratization as a way of seeing what its core elements are. They then take a deep dive into the Scriptures to understand just how much God loves us and is committed to the democratization of His power. Finally, they address how everyone-especially Christians and churches-can give their power away in the same way God does, for the betterment of all.
This faith-filled study explores ways to give power away instead of hoarding it and proposes methods for winning back those who have left the church through mutual friendship and love.
