vii, 242 pages ; 23 cm "We live in an era that requires us to radicalize what 'church' means." So writes Timothy Murphy, who argues that "church" should no longer be a noun, an entity, or an object, but rather an activity--what he calls churching; that is, a process of practicing discipleship with others in the way of Jesus.
