Byron Bledsoe

International Release...Byron Bledsoe's groundbreaking
Barbaric Grace: The Journey of a Revolution

What happens when a

successful

Orlando

pastor dares to

question

everything

about the way his

church

does church,

asking: "‘If we were to

cease to exist, would

the community

miss

us?" What follows is a

bitter-

sweet journey of

change, threats of

lawsuits, personal

threats, betrayal and

eventual vindication.

It would make an intriguing novel, but it isn't fiction. This
revealing, real-life story of Orlando's C3 Church and its self-
described "north of normal" pastor, already being heralded
in previews as a "powerful page-turner," continues to cause
a cutting-edge hunger for change among a growing
multitude of church leaders who are no longer content to
be "normal" in the way they do ministry.

Get ready for a revolution!

bar-bar-ic (bär bâr´ik) grace (grās) 1. a curious,
courageous, creative blend of unpolished roughness
and anointed favor often characterized by world-
changers. 2. an unthinkable, seemingly uncivilized,
outside-the-box commitment to bringing the message
of God’s mercy and love to people who once were
separated from Him, especially through unconventional
methods. 3. an apt description of the revolution at
Orlando’s C3 Church and the impact that continues to
spread among a growing number of churches.

A Texas native, Byron Bledsoe was
named as Senior Pastor of Orlando’s
Parkway Baptist Church, March 23,
2003. After the revolution described in
Barbaric Grace, on August 13, 2006,
the community of faith became C3
Church, now known for its creative,
energetic and wholehearted desire to
fulfill the Great Commission in today’s world—to love God
and love others!

Byron, his wife Angie and

their four children have

lived in Central Florida

since 1998.
