52 Churches
A Yearlong Journey Encountering God, His Church, and Our Common FaithBy Peter DeHaan
Length8h 7m
About this audiobook
What happens when you leave your comfortable church home to spend a year visiting fifty-two different congregations? Peter DeHaan and his wife discovered the answer through an eye-opening journey that took them from megachurches to rented space, from traditional liturgy to contemporary praise, and from Baptist to Catholic to charismatic gatherings.
With humor, honesty, and grace, Peter chronicles their adventure through America's Christian landscape, revealing both the beauty and brokenness they encountered along the way.
Part spiritual memoir, part church reform guide, 52 Churches celebrates the diversity of Christ's body while offering practical insights for making every congregation more welcoming, authentic, and alive.
