Editorial Reviews

Review

"This is a 'must read' for all church leaders and Christians wanting to grapple with the challenge of becoming a relevant church for the 21st century. Whilst based on thorough research, and including some most interesting statistical analysis, it is far from being an academically dry book. It is engagingly written, realistic about the challenges facing the Church in the West, yet a book of hope and encouragement." (Richard Zair Anvil )

Product Description

5.0 out of 5 stars Exciting ideas in missiology, February 5, 2008

By	Dennis McCallum - See all my reviews

Written by two missions and church planting experts, this interesting book is written for mission and church leaders considering how to foster church planting movements like those already flourishing in many parts of the world today. Their last three chapters contain elements needed to empower the laity for ministry and personal discipleship figures prominently. But the book is more a theoretical reflection than a practical study on how to raise up disciples. A stirring read for those with a burden for reaching this generation for Christ.

Although the basic idea, that we Christians must bring our message to the people rather than wait for them to wander into our church, is undoubtedly valid, the explanations of how to do this seem more theoretical than practical. Some current examples - both sucessful and not successful - would greatly aid application.
