5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, November 6, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Come Back Congregation: New Life for a Troubled Ministry (Innovators in Ministry) (Hardcover)

Contrary to the reader above (who stated that the church which the author pastors, wasn't spiritual, etc.), who certainly has his own biased agenda, Pantego Bible Church is a very dynamic and mature church. In addition, the Pastoral staff has an amazing heart for the Lord and His people. I suggest you read "The Connecting Church" by Frazee to see how on fire this church is! Their emphasis on spiritual formation and community is transforming lives and impacting neighborhoods. This book is great to learn principles for change, revitalization, and other leadership issues. I have seen first hand how Pantego Bible Church has been used by Jesus Christ for His Kingdom!

This review is from: The Come Back Congregation: New Life for a Troubled Ministry (Innovators in Ministry) (Hardcover)

I have been a member of Pantego Bible Church for 12 years, and it ROCKS! God's presence is overwhelming with the other followers of Christ surrounding. I must say I have not read the book, but I had to add my 2 cents because of the 2 reviews written without a real view of PBC and it's members.

1.0 out of 5 stars I concur, July 19, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Come Back Congregation: New Life for a Troubled Ministry (Innovators in Ministry) (Hardcover)

I concur with the first reviewer. The lack of true spirituality and presence of God within the church, especially since the move, is very disturbing. The exodus of long time and commited members is impressive.
The book is okay, but you have to consider its' source first.

And there is no agenda here, I am just a simple man that has been there and seen.
