All Things New

God is on a mission to make all things new: from the fashion industry to the business community, from politics to education and from entertainment to media and the arts. God's burning desire is to bring restoration to every sphere of society. Starting in Genesis and working through the Scriptures, All Things New will take you on a journey into the very heart of God and His relentless passion to redeem lives, heal the nations, rewire the culture, and bring renewal to all of creation. As we immerse ourselves in the greatest story ever told we find our ultimate sense of belonging, our purpose in the present and our hope for the future. We become actors in this unfolding drama, pushing forward God's purposes for the world and joining His mission to make all things new. By exploring God's character and His mission revealed throughout the narrative of Scripture, All Things New inspires and equips the reader to join the story and be agents of cultural renewal to the world around us. Pete Hughes, along with his wife Bee, leads Kings Cross Church (KXC), a new church in central London reaching people in their 20s and 30s. A regular speaker at festivals and conferences across the UK and beyond, and part of the leadership team of the new Wildfires Conference, Pete is one of the emerging new leaders of the twenty-first-century church. As a pastor leading a similar church in a similar city, I pay very close attention to Pete Hughes and KXC. Not only do I count Pete a dear friend, but I view him as one of the best emerging thinkers and leaders in the western church. The community that has grown up around them at KXC is simply incredible. Few churches manage to capture the holistic nature of the kingdom with such tenacity and clarity-from spiritual formation of the soul to the transformation of society. Pete's opening claim that "the story you live in is the story you live out" shows just how key the biblical narrative has been in the architecture of Pete and KXC's vision of church. I simply can't recommend this book enough. I want every person in my church to read this.
