One phrase describes what happens in a church split: "relational homicide." In a split, good friends become hardened enemies, suspicion takes the place of trust, and prayer is supplanted by malicious gossip. Meanwhile, division spreads, like a systemic disease, infecting the body of Christ. Why do we tolerate this visitation from hell? There is no scriptural justification for it; no New Testament apostle ever sanctioned division between born-again Christians. Church splits and divisions are, in fact, condemned by God in the Scriptures. Francis Frangipane proclaims it is time to end this curse on the church. He not only exposes the deceptions surrounding splits, but brings us to a place of healing and beyond -- where we can actually possess the "unoffendable" heart of Jesus Christ. This is a powerful book, written by a man known worldwide as a spiritual father in the body of Christ.
Francis Frangipane is a Christian evangelical minister and author. He is the founding pastor of River of Life Ministries in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, United States. In 2002, he also launched an international, online school called In Christ's Image Training (ICIT). This training lays a foundation of truth based on four principal themes: Christlikeness, humility, prayer and unity. ICIT has students in over seventy nations. Additionally, over the past decades, Frangipane has served on a number of other ministry boards. However, in recent years he has gradually resigned from these various boards. As of June 2009, he has also retired from his position as senior pastor of River of Life Ministries. In this more simplified life, Frangipane is devoting himself to prayer and the ministry of God's word.
Francis Frangipane has an active partnership with the Mission America Coalition, consisting of leaders from 81 denominations and over 400 ministries and networks. He is also a welcomed teacher in various Charismatic and Evangelical church settings, in both the black and white communities.
