Editorial Reviews

Review
Future Church instructs and illuminates without being pedantic. A comfortable conversation that instructs and points in a right ministry direction. -- Dale "Geno" Robinson, Author of Intersecting Lives

Jim Wilson has found unmistakable signs of vigor, innovation, and genuine faith in congregations from coast to coast. -- Marshall Shelley, Editor, Leadership Journal

Wilson offers a journalist’s crucial perspective: here’s how otherwise ordinary leaders are navigating the unpredictable waterways of change. -- Sally Morgenthaller, Author of Worship Evangelism --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Product Description
The world has more than changed. In fact the world as it was known for generations is ending, and from its ashes a new world is rushing in. All sociologists, futurists, theologians, and academicians agree. But the shape of this post-modern world is still being formed. The clay of the post-seeker generation is still soft, yet to be completely hardened by cynicism.

5.0 out of 5 stars help for difficult times, October 13, 2002
By Ed Rowell (Franklin, TN) - See all my reviews
Finding our way into the future is too often like taking a trail, any trail, and hoping it leads to the mountain top. Jim Wilson has given us in Future Church a trail guide to creating a church whose best days are ahead,not behind. Based not on theory but on actual case studies, Wilson takes us behind the scenes of churches that most of us would never discover otherwise. There we meet fearless leaders and focused congreagations who are influencing the world in which they live in ways that lift up the hope and the winsome nature of the real Gospel. I'm recommending Future Church, not only to all my pastor friends, but to the leadership teams within our congregation. With a guide to a preferrable future at hand, we hope to continue the process of shaping our church into one that shapes our community for the better.

Ed Rowell, Teaching Pastor
The People's Church
Franklin, Tennessee

5.0 out of 5 stars More Than Coincidence . . ., October 20, 2004
By Darrell Waddell (Redmond, Washington) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I lead a church plant in Seattle called Cascade Hills... We've been at this for 2 and a half years, and are discovering that "contemporary worship" is neither contemporary, or real worship. There is a stirring in us for more of God, and less of "churchianity." We have been on a journey of discovery, and have found ourselves outlining a ministry plan that literally has lined up with each of the 7 fulcrum points Jim Wilson so clearly articulates in "Future Church". Here's where it gets interesting . . . we did the plan, then discovered the book! I have not been able to get past the idea that this is a move of God on His Church, and that something huge is about to happen... Not just in Seattle or the West Coast, or even America, but worldwide. Thank you Jim!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta check this out!, October 12, 2002
By Chris (Florida) - See all my reviews
Jim has captured the heart of postmodern ministry in a raw,
compelling glimpse into the reality of being God's Church in the new
Millenium.
It is honest, inspiring, and with each chapter there are new heroes of the
Christian faith. You won't be able to put it down, and it will
challenge you to get real and get in on what God is doing in the world today and
tomorrow!

Chris Kratzer, Pastor: Quest419 Church Tampa, Florida.
