In Facing the Change, a missional church trilogy, Terry Coy explores the rapid cultural, demographic, political, and economic changes in the American mission field. His purpose is not only to diagnose and analyze but also to offer practical advice for living missionally as the people of God in an increasingly challenging environment.In Book One, Who Do People Say That I Am?, he tackled much of the confusion in America about Jesus Christ, offering a clear biblical alternative. In Book Two, Who Do We Think We Are?, Dr. Coy explored and analyzed the American mission field itself, drawing key missiological implications and applications. In this book, What Are We Going To Do?, Coy offers practical advice for biblically faithful and contextually appropriate missional engagement. Specifically, he tackles the key missional issues of: -the importance of worldviews and contextualization;-evangelism in a post-Christian culture;-church planting as a key missional activity;-gospel proclamation that is both faithful and relevant;-the Christian life as salt and light in a challenging culture.With the Christological foundation established in Book One and the American mission field defined and explained in Book Two, this final book in the series puts it all together for missional thinking and acting pastors, church planters, teachers, and church members.

Most Christians know that all is not well with America. Every day the church feels pushed further to the margins of society. We are losing status, influence, and certain freedoms. So, what is the church to do?In Return to the Margins Terry Coy explains that the church has historically and globally existed and thrived at the margins. Jesus ministered in the margins of society. The New Testament church grew from the margins. Most of the global church today lives and ministers in the margins. The church in post-Christian America must understand:¿ What the new American church will look like¿ How to respond when religious rights are taken away¿ What the church must do now to prepare for the future¿ How life in the margins has historically increased the church's fruitfulness
