5.0 out of 5 stars Important Book, June 17, 2007
By 
Marie (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Permission Granted to Do Church Differently in the 21st Century (Paperback)
I have been disturbed by the increasing trend in American churches to set up a "corporation" model with the pastor as CEO. It feels more and more that the church is a "for profit" corporation plugged into the wrong power source. With all the money pouring out of these "church corporations," you'd think we'd be having mass revival...In developing countries, this church model is unheard of - they simply cannot compete with such a financial machine - yet they see God heal the sick in ways we don't see in America. They are vibrant and full of joy in spite of their material lack. They are operating in the gifts of the Holy Spirit and seeing miracles that corporate America has never seen in their very regimented, controlled environments. I pray all Christians will read this book - most importantly that all church leaders will read this book -and that they will yearn for biblical strategies to further God's Kingdom - and will long for God to empower them, move them, fill them and anoint them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Right on Target Biblically, January 26, 2007
By 
James A. Mccraigh (Phoenix, AZ, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Permission Granted to Do Church Differently in the 21st Century (Paperback)
Graham Cooke has done a great job of describing how we must do church in the 21st century... biblically! He shows us that "corporate CEO church" models are not what Christ has asked us to do, but instead that we must work to put Christ at the head and follow His lead. Well written and thought provoking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Foundation al Book, November 28, 2007
This review is from: Permission Granted to Do Church Differently in the 21st Century (Paperback)
Anyone who wants to understand the changing landscape of the church should read this book. Cooke and Goodell lay a strong foundation for transitioning back to 1st Century values. This book should be in the library of any one serious about Christ Centered living in true New Testament structure.
