I did not care all that much for this one, I thought "re-imagining church" was way better. There is another reviewer who said Finding Organic Church seemed a bit to elitist and know it allish and I must say that I agree.

Recommends it for:
all those that can't take any more of the attractional church model.
Recommended to Kevin by:

The organic church experiments are so new (in an old sort of way) that all that exists in book form is theory. Only a few authors have put it into practical actions that will help a group establish themselves. Neil Cole and Alan Hisch have done well with making missional communities practical. Now I will add Frank Viola to the list. Frank has pulled all his work on theory together with his many years of practice. I have longed for a book like this for some time.
This is what I was looking for- the down and dirty of how to start a house church under Christ's headship. I'm a goal-oriented person and Mr. Viola gave me the details on which to understand how to organize the wonderful thoughts and passions I've gleaned from his other books on being a part of an authentic community meeting together to worship our Savior! Even if I'm not actually called to start a church, I have plenty to do to be a part of community, fellowship, and ground preparing to do!

I liked this one, but he sounds a bit elitist and know-it-all"ish" for me.
Good ideas to counter the crazy place we find the church in today.
Take it with a grain of salt...
