New research from churches in eighty-six countries around the world reveals that, throughout the last few years, there have been dramatic shifts in Christianity. In this book, Christian A. Schwarz not only presents these findings for the first time, but also pleads for twelve practical reforms that could unshackle the relevancy of the Christian faith, restoring it as a fascinating, transformative pursuit for people in our time.
It is the surprising thesis of this book that most keys to the relevance of Christianity are to be found in biblical insights that many non-Christians are longing for, while wide parts of Christianity have not yet discovered them.
The book is a call for change. It shows how the shifts in this epoch of history have the power to anchor and expand our spirituality and service to others.

How could it be that the New Testament teaching on God’s energy has remained all but invisible to vast parts of Christianity? What new spiritual and theological possibilities emerge when people embrace this dimension and allow it to shape their daily lives? In this first volume of his Energy Trilogy, Christian A. Schwarz unpacks the New Testament concept of energy, explains its explosive implications for today, and explores factors that made Western Christianity first ignore and then suppress it.
Your three main benefits:
1. Discover the New Testament concept on God’s energy
2. Understand the rejection mechanisms in the West
3. Explore the implications of God’s energy for various topics of theology, spirituality, and church development
The teaching on God’s energy, as portrayed in the New Testament, has far-reaching consequences for both our view of God and our relationship to God. Can we encounter God as a person, while at the same time being permeated by God’s transpersonal (more than a person) dimension? In the second volume of his Energy Trilogy, Christian A. Schwarz explores how the biblical energy paradigm considerably enhances both Christian theology and spirituality, and enables surprising new ways of experiencing the transcendence of God in the midst of our daily lives.
Your three main benefits:
1. Expand your image of God
2. View the supernatural from a new perspective
3. Explore new ways of relating faith and science to one another
In the third volume of his highly-acclaimed Energy Trilogy, Christian A. Schwarz presents cutting-edge research that reveals a dramatic shift in Christian involvement in churches around the world. Many of the approaches that were celebrated as recipes for success until just a few years ago no longer work. What needs to change in churches to address the landslide shifts? What needs to happen in the heads, hands and hearts of Christians to get closer to this goal? And how can this be done in practical terms? Drawing on the biblical teaching about God's energy, Schwarz presents compelling concepts that enable individuals and groups to contribute to processes of transformation. The book can help the church recalibrate its spiritual and theological compass to get prepared for facing today's challenges.
Your three main benefits:
1. Explore the basic theological, philosophical, and psychological background of the landslide changes
2. Unlock intrinsic motivation in self and others
3. Experience the life-changing impact of the biblical energy paradigm
