Balanced View On Emerging Church Structures,
By A Customer
This review is from: House Church Networks: A Church for a New Generation (Paperback)
Larry Kreider has done a great job of introducing us to a "new" type of church that is emerging. This is not a reactionary book full of bitterness or pride, unlike much of the house church material out there.

A good balanced approach,

This review is from: House Church Networks: A Church for a New Generation (Paperback)
Sometimes when you read authors favoring house churches you almost detect a "this is the only way to do church" mentality. Kreider writes with balance and acknowledges the need for all types of churches ranging from the house church to larger congregational churches. It was a great read as he wove his own story into the principles he was sharing on house churches.

Body LIfe at the Edge of Christendom and Beyond,
This review is from: House Church Networks: A Church for a New Generation (Paperback)
Traditions of learning by formal monologues are being supplemented by informal learning in small groups in those groups of Jesus-followers without a pasive pew-sitting tradition. This change will continue to accelerate, with an increase in accountability that is essential to effective discipleship. The "house church movement" is a worldwide culture that seeks God in personal encounters, and expresses Christian community in daily life. These developments are healthy, especially for those living outside the walls of traditional Christian culture. You will take away from this book basic definition of how and why small groups can influence the world in powerful ways, and gives tools to begin your own experiments in Christian living. God intends risk as a normal part of life, and through tools provided here, you can accept risk in the social expressions of following Jesus. I suggest that you read this book with a few friends who are passionate to follow Jesus, and talk through what God may want you to do as a result. Do not be satisfied with passive Christianity when you can so easily experience active learning and active community in faith.
