In this edition of Author Sketches, we talk to writer, speaker, and house church leader Frank Viola. Frank has written over a dozen books on ministry and church leadership including the popular recent titles, Pagan Christianity (co-authored with George Barna) and Reimagining Church. We sat down and talked with Frank about his recently released new book, From Eternity to Here in which he lays out his vision for the "driving passion" and "ageless purpose of God." He also talked with us about his transition out of what he calls the "institutional church," and how he first came to discover for himself the sweeping story of God’s eternal plan and how it changed his life.
