""Church Fights is raw, real, and redemptive. Jamie Centeno pulls no punches in sharing his journey from pain to purpose, rebellion to revival. This book is a prophetic wake-up call to the Church-a challenge to trade performance for presence, popularity for purity, and compromise for consecration. Jamie's story will stir your spirit, break your heart, and reignite your passion for God's house. Every pastor, church leader, and believer needs to read this.""--Samuel Rodriguez, Lead Pastor, New Season Church, President, National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference ""Thoughtful words brilliantly written. The clarity will draw you in. You will find it hard to put down this book. Jamie Centeno has the heart of a pastor and parent while bringing healing to the soul. Thank you, Jamie for writing Church Fights. I recommend it to all my friends.""--Bishop Michael Pitts, Cornerstone Global Network ""In Church Fights Apostle Jamie Centeno declares war on compromise and complacency. With wisdom and compassion, he calls us forward through this page turner. Apostle Jamie is full of transparency and truth; he is honest and honorable. Apostle Jamie as a battle tested true spiritual father and general is willing to share his pain and show his scars so that we might learn from his mistakes. Shame hides, but loves shares. He graciously and generously shares his pain for our gain and God's glory. ""The mark of a true spiritual father is someone who is willing to be transparent and vulnerable and admit their mistakes to save others from unnecessary pain. Apostle Jamie does this because he cares more about the people than how the people perceive him. Church Fights smashes idols and soothes the soul. It's a true invitation to repent, reprioritize and return to our first love by putting Christ first in everything once again.""--Pastor Adam LiVecchi, Founder of We See Jesus Ministries and Senior Pastor of Rescue Church in West New York, New Jersey, Author of Go. Preach. Heal, Listen. Learn. Obey, Follow. Lead. Mentor and 7 Keys to Success ""Jamie Centeno is the real deal. With honesty and conviction, he shares the compelling testimony of how God called him ""out of darkness into His marvelous light"" (1 Peter 2:9). This is a story of personal revival-a life transformed by God's grace and the Holy Spirit's power-which, in turn, is sparking corporate revival and transformation in the lives of many. I highly recommend this book because I believe you will be challenged, encouraged, and strengthened by each page that you read.""--Dr. Ché Ahn, Senior Leader, Harvest Rock Church, Pasadena, CA, President, Harvest International Ministry, International Chancellor, Wagner University ""Church Fights conveys a timely message. My friend Jamie Centeno writes with deep conviction and anointed eloquence. What he shares comes from real experience and calls the Church back to purity, back to focus, and back to the presence of God. In a time of noise, this work clearly communicates a direct message. I believe the Lord will use this book to awaken many to the deeper things of the Spirit.""--David Diga Hernandez, Evangelist, Author ""This inspiring and prophetic book reminds us of the Lord's example-how Christ loved the church and gave His life for it. It urges believers to seek the true fire of the Spirit and to love the church with divine passion. A must-read for anyone longing to see the church restored in power, holiness, and as the bride of Christ. This book will stir your heart, convict your spirit, and realign you with the divine purpose of loving and advancing the church for this generation.""--Omar Lopez, Lead Pastor of Reach Network
