"""Unearth the Church is a bold attempt to discomfort the comfortable--in and outside the church--for all our sake. It encourages the thoughtful disentangling of the living, breathing church from all that threatens to stifle the life it was created to spread. You'll agree, disagree, think, hurt, then be inspired to act because we are the light of Christ in our generation. Thoughtful and loving, this book raises questions we all need to ask."" --Lori Stanley Roeleveld, author of Graceful Influence: Making a Lasting Impact through Lessons from Women of the Bible ""Johnmark Camenga's passionate belief in the church's future is on display throughout this book, and he asks exactly the kinds of awkward questions that many church leaders are avoiding out of concern for their church's present. I encourage leaders to take Camenga's questions to heart and honestly wrestle with them as a church community."" --Sean Gladding, director of Christian formation, Presbyterian Church of Danville, Kentucky"
