Tony Amaradio – Congratulates Sam Metcalf on Being Selected Finalist in InterVarsity Press Reader’s Choice Competition

ALISO VIEJO, CA / ACCESSWIRE / January 21, 2017 / Inspirational financial consultant Tony
Amaradio has joined the ranks of readers and critics praising Sam Metcalf for the work in his latest book, Beyond
the Local Church: How Apostolic Movements Can Change the World. In InterVarsity Press’ 2016 Reader’s Choice competition, Metcalf was chosen as winner of the IVP
Books finalists. Amaradio, known for his time as host of the radio show Market Talk and for his eye-opening book, Faithful With Much: Breaking Down
the Barriers to Generous Giving, commended Metcalf for bringing attention to important apostolic movements that expand the church through social activism and advocacy.

Of the 113 titles published between October 2015 and September 2016 by InterVarsity Press, an extension of InterVarsity Christian Fellowship/USA, Beyond
the Local Church was nominated as one of the thirty finalists of the annual Reader’s Choice competition. When official voting closed on December 9, after a record setting 2,674 votes, Sam Metcalf’s most recent publication was declared the winner of the IVP Books category, which had finalists in categories including Christian living, discipleship, evangelism, missions, apologetics and cultural critiques. Prefaced with a forward written by Alan Hirsch, the founder of the missional church movement, the book intends to challenge the misconception that apostolic personalities – those outside local churches – cannot operate interdependently with already established religious organizations. Metcalf argues that when these two structures work together, they unleash gospel movements that thrive, prosper, and bring many to Christ.

Tony Amaradio recommends Beyond the Local Church for the many who may have drifted from their local church communities, but have not given up on God or Christianity. Often, these congregations are simply not the best context for missional people who instead require discipleship in the form of the relief, development and support of others in order to live out their sense of God’s call. Amaradio appreciates Metcalf’s approach of providing biblical foundations for mission movements, showing that what has often been called “parachurch” is an equally valid manifestation of the church. Visionary apostolic personalities are shown to have the capability to cross cultural barriers, renew secular societies, and transform nations with the power of the gospel.
