By Eddie Gibbs
InterVarsity Press (2000), Paperback
Author: Eddie Gibbs is the Donald A. McGavaran Professor of Church Growth at Fuller.
Organization: The book is divided into nine distinct chapters. Each chapter discusses a key area in which the church needs to “undergo transforming transitions” because of current cultural change.
- From living in the past to engaging the present
- From market driven to mission oriented
- From bureaucratic hierarchies to apostolic networks
- From schooling professionals to mentoring leaders
- From following celebrities to encountering saints
- From dead orthodoxy to living faith
- From attracting a crowd to seeking the lost
- From belonging to believing
- From generic congregations to incarnational communities
Intention: to begin a conversation as to how the church might traverse this transition and remain true to its message and mission.
