Description
Have you ever wanted to change the world? Authors Gavin and Anne Calver examine our culture and consider where we stand as the Church within it. Drawing on the narrative of Moses, they show how we can be Game Changers.
God is very much at work in the world; He is doing new and different things by the power of His Spirit. The question is; do we want to join Him? If so, it's time to become Game Changers.
Game Changers aims to inspire, equip and transform the lives of its readers, enabling them to go out and change the world in the name of Jesus. The book uses the example of Moses as a core topic, and covers five areas: Encountering God, Engaging your community, Ensemble (pulling together), Equipping the people of God, and Empowering the next generation.

Reviews / Votes
It's half-time; the team are losing, dispirited and feeling all is lost. Suddenly into the dressing room walk Gavin and Anne Calver. They coach, they yell, they inspire - they teach. When the team hit the pitch at the start of the second half everybody can see that something has changed. Game Changers is a book for the church in our times. -- Rob Parsons OBE, chairman, Care for the Family This book reminds us that we have the ability to change the game; not only for us, but also for those we may never even get to know this side of heaven. Our generous God continues to invite us to come so the question is not, will He invite, but rather will we accept His invitation? -- Christy Wimber, speaker, author and TV host This book has inspired me to rediscover my passion for making a difference. It's honest and practical, and set my mind and heart buzzing about what I can do, however small, that will help build God's kingdom. -- Abby Guinness, head of programme at Spring Harvest This book is brilliant! It's packed full of inspirational, Spirit-filled stories and practical advice for anyone who seriously wants to engage in the joy and challenges of mission. -- Virginia Luckett, Jubilee champion and churches director at TearfundMore details
