Receive The Church In The Market Place Expressed By George Carey Represented In Script

Church in the Market Place is an account of a major project of renewal and growth for St Nicholas church in Durham, The author, who was Vicar at the time, went on eventually to be the Archbishop of Canterbury, so it's very interesting to read about some of his early struggles with faith and guidance.


This book describes a project that made the church more appealing to the local community, Naturally such a project was expensive, and the proposal was rejected at first leading to a year of renewal and rebuilding of the congregation, before the building project went ahead.


The book is written in a clear and interesting style, recounting the authors worries and his own growth in faith, He doesnt overspiritualise, nor does he preach

instead he lets the story stand for itself as a testimony to Gods leading and the unlikely things that can be done if people are willing to pray.


The book wont appeal to everyone its unlikely to be of interest to anyone who is not a Christian believer, other than those who live in the locality or who have visited Durham and are interested in the story of St Nics transformation.


But if you like this kind of book, then Id definitely recommend it,
With the Holy Spirit breathing in new life, major changes in the worship service and the information of prayer groups, the dwindling congregation grew, becoming an active, Christcentered people who reach out to the unchurched, to those in the 'market place of life.
