Courageous Prophet

Richard Kew makes predictions about the future of the church by identifying current world trends and suggesting how they will impact the way we "do church." The author names ten trends, such as globalization, fiscal challenges, and moral dilemmas, and offers insights on how the church needs to revision its way of doing ministry in order to address the extraordinary challenges and changes that are sweeping our world. Each chapter is devoted to a "trend," complete with the author's analysis, study guide questions, suggestions for further reading, and websites to search for more information. Our church board is currently reading Brave New Church and we will be discussing the study guide questions in future adult forums. I especially appreciate the website references, and have found them to be very useful and practical. I recommend this book to any church leader who wants to be more effective in doing mission and ministry in our rapidly changing world.
