Please read underneath for more information on Leonard Sweet and this learning experience:


What Lies Ahead for Christians around the World?


If you follow the works of bestselling authors Malcolm Gladwell, Faith Popcorn, Daniel Pink, and other trend forecasters, you’ll appreciate learning about over 25 rings of fire that lie ahead for Christians around the world. The world of the twenty-second century is a global Ring of Fire. Len Sweet - semiotician, storyteller, and prophetic seer of the future - masterfully helps us to make sense of this new world full of erupting volcanoes. He guides us through all the hot zones and hot topics of our day, and shows us how to embrace this volcanic culture as followers of Jesus. This brilliant and timely book serves as a first responder's manual on a blazing new landscape. It is thé primer for all who desire an eruptive faith, one that keeps up with Jesus while inviting others to God’s fire to get warm. This book will assist and enable the church of the future to walk on lava! No one has done more to startle the church from its slumber than Len Sweet, and no one has equipped the church as effectively. This is a benchmark book from a seminal leader of the modern evangelical movement.


Some of these topics are: Hostile Culture, Chinafication. World Religions, Especially Islam, The Public Square, Tolerance of Diversity, Touting of Unity, Sexularism, Genders and Gendering, Suicide Culture, Ecological Extinctions and Hothouse Home, Genetic Engineering, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Information Technology, Nanotechnology, Sacralization and Idols, Political Religion.

Author of more than two hundred articles, 1500+ published sermons and sixty books, Leonard Sweet’s recent publications include the groundbreaking textbook on preaching, Giving Blood: A Fresh Paradigm for Preaching, the best-seller From Tablet to Table, The Bad Habits of Jesus, and the fall 2019 release of the twenty-year successor to SoulTsunami, Rings of Fire: Walking in Faith Through a Volcanic Future.  


Len often appears on the “50 Most Influential Christians in America” listings, and in 2010 was selected by the top non-English Christian website as one of the “Top 10 Influential World Christians of 2010”. His “Napkin Scribbles” podcasts can be accessed on leonardsweet.com or spotify. His Twitter and Facebook microblogs are ranked as some of the highest in the religious world. 


Len works with graduate students at four institutions: Drew University, where he has occupied the E. Stanley Jones Chair, George Fox University, Tabor College, and Evangelical Seminary, where he currently holds the Charles Wesley Senior Professorship of Doctoral Studies. In 2015 he launched his own homiletics resource preachthestory.com. One of the most sought-after speakers in the religious world today, he resides on Orcas Island in the San Juan Islands.
