Free From Times Square To Timbuktu: The Post-Christian West Meets The Non-Western Church Ebooks Online
In the last century, amazingly, world Christianity's center of gravity has effectively moved from Europe to a point near Timbuktu in Africa. Never in the history of Christianity has there been such a rapid and dramatic shift in where Christians are located in the world.Wesley Granberg-Michaelson explores the consequences of this shift for congregations in North America, specifically for the efforts to build Christian unity in the face of new and challenging divisions. Centers of religious power, money, and theological capital remain entrenched in the global, secularized North while the Christian majority thrives and rapidly grows in the global South. World Christianity's most decisive twenty-first-century challenge, Granberg-Michaelson argues, is to build meaningful bridges between faithful churches in the global North and the spiritually exuberant churches of the global South.Watch the trailer:

While Christianity is on the decline in the United States and Western Europe, it's growing in the rest of the world, especially the global south. In his book, From Times Square to Timbuktu, Wesley Granberg-Michaelson confirms this trend with well-crafted research that is both credible and accessible. If you wonder about the future of Christianity, check out this book -- and be truly amazed.
A very clear description of how the power in the Church has shifted from west to east and from north to south. But it is hard to see how unity in the church can find concrete expression; and how the demoralized church in the west can be energized by the east.
A revelation of the global shift in Christianity, which I have observed firsthand in recent encounters with African Christians. This is an important book.
Had to read this for a class. The book is fantastic look into the changing demographics of Christianity.
