A CHURCH THAT FLIES (Orange Calif.) -- For centuries, men tried to fly by building contraptions that looked like birds' wings -- without success. Then they discovered the principles of aerodynamics, and humans began to soar. The point, says author Tim Woodroof, in this latest release from New Leaf Books, is that function is more important than form. We will never restore "New Testament Christianity" by imitiating externals (forms), Woodroof argues, but by discovering and implementing its inner principles (functions). To support this radical proposal, Woodroof carefully examines major changes throughout the biblical story -- asking why some "unauthorized" changes found God's approval and others did not.
