Book Description

2009
Everyone is talking about community. Everyone seems to want it, but most struggle to find it.

Matt and Hugh have written The Tangible Kingdom Primer with two specific purposes. First, to be a spiritual formation tool to prepare your heart for mission. We want you to grab a few friends to go through this with, there is no big commitment required to becoming an incarnational community. You can simply be friends going through an 8 week spiritual exercise together. You can challenge each other as you build a community, and you will have a much better experience as you process your struggles together.

The second purpose is to be a field guide for starting mission together. Some of you are ready to go and have friends that want to go with you. If that is you, then dive right into the Primer as both spiritual formation and missional practice.

In either case, at the end of the eight weeks, you will have the opportunity to decide what to do next. Remember, this is just a Primer to begin building lifelong habits. Some of you will just thank each other and move on. Others will decide to formalize your missional community as you go on mission together. There is no failure here, just a chance to create your own incarnational community.

The Tangible Kingdom Primer is an 8 week, daily Workbook/Journal that will help you define new terminology, inspire the imagination with full-color graphic design work, and provoke new missional practices naturally. A great resource for existing churches, small groups, or new communities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Solid February 26, 2010
Format:Spiral-bound
We took our church through this primer last summer and it helped us to engage in the conversations of what kind of church we really wanted to be. It defined language for us. It made us ask BIG questions. It pushed us to living the incarnational/missional life through practical suggestions and experiences. It's one of those resources that so deeply provokes the soul that you can't help but to be changed or decide you don't want to. I can't wait to go through it again. Get the book, too. It will rock your world.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Standard for Creating Missional Communities February 24, 2010
Format:Spiral-bound
The Tangible Kingdom Primer has become the primary resource we are turning to as we transition our Church into a missionally focused movement of believers. The presentation style of Hugh and Matt provides a highly readable format without compromising its incredible content.

We are putting this book in the hands of as many people as we can, with nothing but incredibly positive results.

If you are a Church-planter, Church leader, Church goer, or Church hater, I assure you that this book will challenge your paradigm of Jesus' mission, foster a new understanding of ministry, and as it has done for many, catalyze you and your church into a new style of living.

In short, in the conversation of missional church movements, The Tangible Kingdom, and The Tangible Kingdom Primer are two of the best resources you will find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Resource for Building Incarnational Communities February 24, 2010
Format:Spiral-bound
The "Tangible Kingdom Primer" has become, in a very short time, a valuable resource to our church. We are using the Primer as the starting point for transitioning people from traditional small groups to exploring the joy of living in authentic, incarnational community together.

The Primer is full of useful information that is broken up in digestible chunks for the participants. It has the right mix of information and journaling opportunities. The individual reflection questions coupled with the "Community Day" discussions and activities leave as much space for personal spiritual formation as it does community development.

Our groups have loved the straight forward and realistic presentation of both Matt Smay and Hugh Halter. This resource has become a regular part of the lives of our people in the early stages of developing a missional/incarnational heartbeat.

Whether you are trying to refocus those who have a heart for living on mission, or trying to transition those who have never lived beyond the walls of the church, this is a tremendous find.
