They have experienced the frustration and loneliness of feeling forgotten as the world seems to leave them behind. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePastor Sam Chamelin offers hope for rural churches in this book about the critical gifts they can offer the whole kingdom of God. In a culture disconnected from the physical world, rural churches offer incarnational faith rooted in place, a deep sense of community, and a more intentional way of life. Whether on the plains, in coastal fishing villages, on southwestern ranches, or among New England dairy farms, rural congregations share a geography and a way of being that is not a liability to be overcome but a gift to be cultivated. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on history, real stories, and deep theological conviction, \u003ci\u003eThe Thriving Rural Church\u003c\/i\u003e provides both a compelling vision and practical first steps for cultivating faithful presence, rich discipleship, and lasting renewal in rural communities.","brand":"Sam Chamelin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67734957424717,"sku":"9781540905642","price":21.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8532\/3085\/files\/9781540905642.jpg?v=1792504088","url":"https:\/\/bakerpublishinggroup.com\/products\/9781540905642_the-thriving-rural-church","provider":"Baker Publishing Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
