About Frank Viola

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: Thousands of people have read "Pagan Christianity." But this book was never meant to be a stand-alone work. It's only the first part of the conversation.

 

The second, most important part is available. It's called "Reimagining Church." Both books go together. "Pagan Christianity" is the deconstructive side of the argument. "Reimagining Church" is the constructive side. Go to www.ReimaginingChurch.org

 

My Other Books Include:

 

EPIC JESUS

REVISE US AGAIN

FROM ETERNITY TO HERE

JESUS MANIFESTO

FINDING ORGANIC CHURCH

The Missing Ingredient

Posted on November 10, 2011 at 10:11am 0 Comments

 

Just a note that my new book, EPIC JESUS has released.

Some have said this book represents the missing ingredient of the Christian faith today. The book is only $3.99 USD. There's also a free video trailer for it as well.

Check it out here: http://www.ptmin.org/epicjesus

Really enjoyed the radio interview. While my husband was doing the edits (Frankie Joubert) I was getting a sneak preview into the show. I know that my husband also thouroughly enjoyed doing the edits to this show (one of the reasons being that you just speak so clearly and slowly - it is any editors dream to have that) but most of all the content was interesting and before he knew it the show was complete! Thank you too for being available to share so openly! Blessings and welcome to OCT. I received a friend request email from you but when I went to accept it the request was no longer there so I am going to send a friend request to you. Regards, Corinne

Just wanted to say hello!
I am living here in Thessaloniki and doing something organic both here, with a small group and also working in Albania and to a lesser extent Bulgaria, seeking to network with people who are tired of the old thing and looking for something alive and fresh.
I have with me my wife - two daughters and their husbands and 2 grandchildren.. 3rd daughter in the UK at the moment... I see you have a new book out - I'm off to the UK today and will look for a copy otherwise order it on the net when I get back!
Grat to be in contact with you

Frank, just wanted to drop you a note. I read some of your writings on the Organic Church movement in the world today. It is the reason I decided to move in that direction. I have been teaching The Pattern of Tabernacle in the Wilderness for about 4 years now. It has given me a different insight on what we should be doing as opposed to what we are doing now. A lot of people are looking for something more than being sang at, preached at and encouraged to give Sunday after Sunday. There is so much that the Bible wants to teach us, but the current status of the visible church forbids it. And people are going hungry and starving to death. I am so happy that your voice is being heard and we're returning to The Way when the church had power and conversions were complete. Please keep me abreast of your travels and if you come to the D.C. area, let me know. Yours in Christ, Wanda

Hello Frank,
Thank you for your friendship request. I havent read any of your books yet, but I am intrigued by the title 'Pagan Christianity' as I was a 'card-carrying' pagan for 8 years before converting to Christianity.
I observed both before and after joining the Church that we have inherited some pagan traditions and there are plenty of overlaps between the traditions, especially in early Celtic Christianity.
I read and study a lot -and I look forward to reading your book.(Eventually -i have a long reading list!)
Blessings, Susannah

Hi Frank,

I want to say I am one of your best fans cause I have read and loved almost all of your books. However, it is Jesus I am grateful to and I see Jesus in so much of what you write. So.... You know what I am saying. The thing is, the Lord has given you the abiltiy and grace to articulate in such a wonderful way the very things I have needed to hear for so many years.

I Have just read Revise Us Again. Well worth the read. I was extremely challenged, for warned and even convicted by Chapter 7  Captured by the Same Spirit You oppose. Needed to be said. Chapter 8. Beautiful , comforting and enlightening. And the Afterword just sets everything in perspective. The three Gospels - the sequence you do with 1 Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians and Colassians . The truth is......... and because of the above....... Amazing clarity there.   Thank you so much !!!

Right on, brother.  Thanks for the welcome.  My sincerest greetings to you and to the brethren in Gainesville in Christ. 

 

Dry times here in Jersey.  I'm hoping that the Lord might do a fresh work in our area gathering some brethren together unto Christ as Head of His local Church.  Sadly, some groups choosing to go the cult route instead.  We're always willing to relocate if that be God's will, though.  What?  Leave lovely NJ for God's Kingdom?  Yes, even NJ. 

 

Blessings, and a Happy Judgement Day tomorrow!

Michael, I certainly understand what you're saying. Very few ministers ever speak the TRUTH about the tithe. In OT times, the tithe was the inheritance of the Levites who were not allowed to make a living by any means as was common among the…

Michael Hartson commented on Jim London's blog post 'What do we do when there is no group to join?'
When I think about the most significant points in my Christian walk, they did not take place in an organized, institutionalized environment.  It was incidental to my world, but wholly intentional by God.

Michael Hartson replied to Michael Hartson's discussion 'Why Can't Christian's Hang Out?'
Sure, it's intentional.  God is responsible for the Results, we are responsible for the action.  God asks us to share our lives, talk to others about him, love others.  Who gets saved, or what a person does or does not do or what…
