When the lights dim and the music fades, what remains?

In the heart of Austin, Texas, Pastor Levi Rhoades leads one of the city’s most vibrant churches—a modern marvel of excellence, precision, and production. Yet behind the polished sermons and glowing screens, something sacred has gone missing. One morning, an anonymous letter appears on his desk—seven verses written in the same ancient words once given to the church of Ephesus: “Nevertheless, I have this against you, that you have left your first love.”

What begins as a quiet conviction ignites a city-shaking awakening. As hearts are stripped bare, marriages mended, and pulpits humbled, the Spirit of God begins to walk once more among the lampstands. Through ordinary people—a weary pastor, a broken janitor, a forgotten missionary, and a young worshiper learning to love again—the Bride of Christ remembers who she is.

In lyrical, prophetic prose that feels both timeless and urgent, To the Church in Ephesus captures the sound of revival not built by men, but breathed by God. It’s not a story of spectacle—it’s a story of returning to first love.

Awe-inspiring, convicting, and full of holy fire, this book will remind every listener that the true Church is not built by hands—it’s rekindled by hearts.
