This book is for church leaders, missionaries, evangelists, and all those who wish to learn about this refreshing way of planting churches and becoming dynamic cells of life for Jesus Christ. The decline of the traditional church in the West has met with the emergence of new ways of being the people of God. One of these is the phenomenal growth of cell churches--small groups of committed Christians meeting in homes and spawning new cells with enthusiasm. While the cell church movement is still small in most Western countries, it is likely to become a major player in the church of the future. In countries like China, Singapore, and Malaysia it is the most popular vehicle for their extraordinary explosion of Christianity.
Edward Michael Bankes Green, known as Michael Green, was a British theologian, Anglican priest, Christian apologist and author of more than fifty Christian books. He served as the Canon Missioner of Holy Trinity Church in Raleigh, North Carolina through 2007.
A collection of essays looking at the cell church phenomenon from a global perspective. In parts genuinely inspiring and helpful, but in other places extremely shallow. Bill Beckham's analysis was the nadir, which while expressing a basic truth, underpins it with a skewed, revisionist view of church history worthy of Dan Brown. On the other hand Graham Tomlin's theological analysis was particularly helpful.
