Summary: Rapid global change is giving many Christians and churches a ride on the wild side. As a futurist, Tom Sine helps make sense of the change hammering our lives, families, and congregations in a new-one-world economic order. He offers ways to reinvent how we live our lives and act out our faith, to anticipate and respond creatively to the opportunities and challenges of our global future. In the contest between economic globalization (McWorld) and God's "mustard seed" agenda, Sine invites us to set aside the aspirations of McWorld. --From publisher's description.
