Faithful Presence: Seven Disciplines That Shape the Church for Mission by David Fitch (IVP, 2016). Is there a way to be the church that engages the world, not by judgment nor accommodation but by becoming the good news in our culture? We have lost the intent and practice of the sacramental ways of the historic church, says Fitch, and identifies seven disciplines that have been with us since the birth of the church. He discusses how these disciplines can help the church take shape in and among our neighborhoods, transform our way of life in the world, and advance the kingdom.
