Reviews

This is a deep and insightful book on the realities faced by every church trying to stay relevant, healthy and vital in today's ever changing world. The response may be too simple for most of us - let go and let God lead on to a new future! How do we really do that? Jeff suggests new questions that help in radically rethinking what it means to be church in a different world.--Mayra Castaneda
