Articulating the contours of the church that will thrive in the 21st century with lucidity and simplicity would be a very difficult assignment, but to enounce it with the clarity that assures every reader an accurate understanding takes a rare talent. Fred Peatross does just that. Many writers resort to simply rehashing outmoded and outworn paradigms. Fred proves to be a trustworthy guide laying out a clear and practical framework around which to contrast (or reconstruct) an authentically missional church. In doing so he manages to be both fresh and inventive. This work is a welcome contribution to the literature exploring practical approaches to missional church. -Alan Hirsch is founding director of the innovative Forge Mission Training Network. He is also the author of The Forgotten Ways and co-author (with Mike Frost) of The Shaping of Things to Come

This review is from: Missio Dei - in the crisis of Christianity (Paperback)
If the missional movement were to have a clear, concise and fresh handbook, this book would surely be it. Fred Peatross is a practitioner, and it is clear from page one that this is the case. There is no pretension or pipe dreams in this little book, no pie in the sky theories that could never sustain in the real world. Adding to its readability is its size - it's a small book - but do not be deceived, Peatross uses his words carefully to pack in great substance between the covers.
Peatross has given the emerging-missional movement a gift of generous, gracious and clear communication of the mission. This is a worthy read.
