Book 2: A Church Without Power: Tearing Down Man-Made Barriers to God’s Presence (The Condition of the Church: Returning to God’s Heart)

The Church today stands at a crossroads. It is filled with sincere believers, yet many have unknowingly built their faith on a foundation of opinions, offense, and traditions rather than the living presence of God. This book is not meant to condemn but to reveal. It is a call back to God’s heart—a return to the simplicity of true faith, unshackled from the religious systems that have shaped the modern church.

Jesus did not challenge religious leaders and traditions merely for the sake of confrontation. He did so because those traditions had covered and distorted the true path that God was offering His people. In the same way, today’s church, particularly among leadership and older generations who have long held influence, has unknowingly replaced intimacy with God with institutional structures and personal preferences. Many believe they are walking in righteousness, yet their hearts are far from the humility and transformation that God truly desires.

This book is written for those who feel the weight of something being ‘off’ in the modern church, for those who hunger for the presence of God but find themselves trapped in religious cycles that never truly satisfy. It is also for those who may be unknowingly defending systems rather than seeking His face. God is calling His people out of dead works, out of offense-driven faith, and into His unfiltered presence.

This is a wake-up call, an invitation, and a guide for those who are ready to return to the heart of God.
