The author proposes nothing less than a radical, revolutionary change in the way Adventists "do church." The Revolutionized Church of the 21st Century addresses our urgent need to recover a sense of community through relational small groups. But this is not just another how-to manual for small groups. It is a profound plea—rooted in the history of the early Christian church and in early Adventist history as well—to make relational small groups the central organizing principle of our churches.

The world and the church are full of people who are hungry for relationships and thirsty for a safe and loving place where they can share their struggles and shortcomings without fear of judgment or rejection. If the church can once again recapture the amazing and magnetic power of small groups, the world will turn out en masse to enjoy the love, support, and affirmation found in the family of God.
