Books by Frank Viola

God's Ultimate Passion

In this groundbreaking book, Frank introduces us to three tales that furnish us with a breathtaking glimpse of God's highest passion. The first is the story of a God who is an ageless romantic driven by one consuming pursuit. The second is the tale of a God who has sought for an eternity to have a resting place—a habitation—a home. The third is the tale of a God from another realm who visits planet earth to establish a heavenly colony that will give Him visible expression. Put together, these three tales embody “God’s story.”



The Untold Story of the New Testament Church

A unique Bible handbook that weaves Acts and the Epistles together chronologically . . . creating one fluid story. This epic volume gives readers a first-hand account of the New Testament drama that is riveting and enlightening. It includes dates, maps, and background information about the people, the cities, and the events of the first-century church using a "you-are-there" approach.



Pagan Christianity

This volume makes an outrageous proposal: That most of what we Christians do in our churches has no root in the New Testament! It rather has its origin in pagan culture long after the death of the apostles. As shocking as that sounds, Frank proves his point by documenting every claim he makes. Fully footnoted, this is the first book ever penned that documents the full story of our modern church practices.

 

Gathering in Homes

There's a groundswell in Christianity today. Christians are leaving the established church in record numbers. The house church/simple church revolution is taking the world by storm. If you have left the traditional church and wish to know how to start a house church from the ground up, this book is for you. Packed with practical details on how to get started and what to expect, this user-friendly volume lays out in simple terms the ingredients for giving your new church a solid foundation. 


Rethinking The Will of God

Many Christians have agonized over the quest for "God's perfect will" for their lives. In this 64-page book, Frank challenges popular notions on "finding God's will" and sheds fresh light on the subject that is highly practical, solidly Biblical, spiritually insightful, and most of all -- liberating!




Bethany: The Lord's Heart for His Church (eBook)

Beautiful, heart-stirring message on what the Lord is after in His people today. This 25-page book is a transcript of a talk Frank delivered to an organic house church in Florida. It traces the Lord's steps to the one and only place on earth that received Him during His earthly life.

 


Straight Talk to Pastors (eBook)

The Scene: Thirty pastors ruling over ten churches in Santiago, Chile invite one man from the United States to speak to them about church life and church leadership. The Result: A high-drama, edge-of-your-chair message and a hair-raising question-answer session on church leadership, eldership, and authoritarian abuse that lasted the better part of an entire day! What some have called "the most remarkable church council ever to occur on South American soil," this book contains the entire transcript of that meeting.
