The theology in this is wonderful. It truly captures the imagination and allows me to see our current story in the church rooted in the Biblical story. This is a huge gift and a resource I'll return to. However, I would have loved for a bit more of how to complete this process of change. It's missing the steps. Perhaps because there is no one model but Steinke seems to allude to some best practices that are not clearly defined in this book.
A great book if your church needs therapy. Chances are, your church needs therapy. Trust me.
really, one of the most wonderful books I have read lately. more later.
A book that affirmed my work with congregations.
