5.0 out of 5 stars Best Overall Book On Cells, February 9, 2004

By 

William B McKenzie (Kerrville, TX United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Making Cell Groups Work: Navigating the Transformation to a Cell-Based Church (Paperback)

In my humble opinion, this is the best overall book on cells that I have come across. Having lived without these types of resources in the early years of my church, what a gift this book is to the the Body of Christ! It is great in presenting an overall framework for understanding cell ministry coupled with a framework to facilitate change and a systematic process through the journey. Whereas before, I would recommend one book for understanding community, another book for grasping how cells work, another for walking through change, and yet another for developing a systems approach. Now I can just say, "Pick up 'Making Cell Groups Work.'"

This review is from: Making Cell Groups Work: Navigating the Transformation to a Cell-Based Church (Paperback)

Boren writes a great guide for anyone exploring, developing, or leading a small/cell group ministry. I enjoyed the navigating the sea metaphor as Boren laid out a plan that will help a leader or anyone along for the ride.
