Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church
Looking at the history and purpose of the early church as their guide, authors Wes Roberts and Glenn Marshall offer a renewed vision for the church--one in which the smaller church plays the lead role in serving communities and individuals as Christ did.

This was more like a 2.5 for me. It’s not that I didn’t like what Wes and Glenn had to say. My problem was more that they stayed in the ethereal and broad realm. Essentially they said a lot without saying a whole lot. And because they stayed in that sort of broad realm, it got a little repetitive. It was a short book and did have some good encouragement throughout so I don’t regret reading it.

A practical look at why the church is here, and how we as Christians can get back to that.

I met the co-author a few months ago. He's an interesting guy which made me want to read his book. Will let you know what I think when I am done.
UPDATE:
Definately worth reading. The authors desire the church to not go back to olden ways, but to much older ways. Meaning, that we have to go back to the apostolic age when discipleship, authenticity, and spiritual growth were more important than creating seeker friendly services, having slick programs, etc. This isn't a book that offers the usual "How to be self-fulfilled in three easy steps." This is about our spiritual lives and the life of the church which means sometimes getting our hands dirty.

I cant NOT give this a solid 5 stars, the book is very honest yet gentle towards the church in a very inspiring way. We truly need to reclaim Gods original intent for the church and remember its not about the size of the church, or the education your pastor has. It is all about Jesus Christ out Lord and Savior!
