What if the modern Church is not a triumphant institution but a Cinderella figure — gifted, called, and yet strangely reluctant to step into its own story? Michael Griffiths presents a penetrating and urgent challenge to contemporary Christianity, arguing that the global Church has too often retreated into passivity and irrelevance when it is called to nothing less than transformative action in the world. Drawing on scripture, church history, and a sharp pastoral eye, this work diagnoses the spiritual complacency that holds congregations back and issues a clear-eyed summons to renewed purpose, unity, and missional courage. Griffiths writes with the authority of a seasoned missionary statesman and the warmth of a gifted communicator, blending prophetic challenge with practical encouragement. The Cinderella metaphor runs throughout with disarming wit — the Church already possesses the invitation, the calling, and the means, yet sits among the ashes of institutional habit and self-doubt. This is a book that provokes, inspires, and ultimately refuses to let the reader settle for a Church that is anything less than fully alive to its God-given vocation. Will the Church finally claim its place at the banquet, or remain by the hearth?
