Creating community

This book resonates with me, so much of what I read on church style talks about how to improve worship, your discipleship programme, your homegroups programme, or what ever... This books does not talk about programmes, it talks about the style of leadership that is required in today's church. And it stand in stark contrast to the likes of Leonard Sweet. Rather than promoting the idea that the church needs a captain of a ship, as we are going into a storm, it talks of ploughing the soil, of working the land, which is much closer to the biblical narrative than the winner-takes-all/captain-of-the-boat-follow-me approach. It is a book that believe that the Holy Spirit is alive and working within us today, it gives hope. It is comprehensive. It is the best book on church leadership I've read in the past 5 years.

Review of, "The Missional Leader"

I was thoroughly engaged by both Dr. Roxburgh and Dr. Romanuk as they discussed the various elements that contribute to the process of change. They make change easier to grasp by discussing its various element. This book also satisfies my desire for intellectual engagement about the Church and its relationship to the world that we live in. While it causes the reader to reassess the current direction of the Church, it encourages hope among those who wish to help foster more effectivity. I consider reading this book to be time well spent.

Important reading for church leaders.

Excellent book to help guide a church into mission thinking and action. I recomment this for all leaders in a church that seeks to be "missional" in the true sense of the word.

Missional Church Leadership

Having read many books on leadership, and having read a few on the missional church, I was very pleased to find this volume with a missional approach to leadership. The author asserts that this approach can be used in any church setting to give the congregation more of a missional church direction. Although the entire book is well-worth reading, the most intensive section is chapters 3-5. I recommend this one highly.

the real deal

Alan Roxburgh has finally pulled together all the pieces that he has been writing about and teaching for a number of years. Some of this stuff he taught in a course I took with him 14 years ago at McMaster. He highlights the character required, the skills required, and the processes required, of pastors seeking to innovate toward the missionally-engaged congregation. There are far too many people using the term "missional" to signify whatever they want. Alan and the others in the Gospel and Culture Network are giving us principles, practice and definitions that do justice to what Newbigin meant when he started some of us using the term long before it became vogue.
