A pragmatic, idea-soaked guide to implementing the broader ideals in “The Forgotten Ways”.
This book is a handbook to accompany Alan Hirsch's earlier book, "The Forgotten Ways." The handbook is suggested for the use of small groups that are involved in planting a missional church or assisting an already existing non-missional church in the transition to missional (may God bless you in that). The original book was primarily concerned with the concept of "apostolic genius" which Hirsch believes is the spiritual and sociological dynamic underlying the growth of significant Jesus movement

An incredibly comprehensive, well-organized overview of the elements of converting a congregation to a living, breathing Christ-following community. I recognized (and preferred) reading the many books from which Hirsch draws his research. Probably due to the amazing way the Spirit has of speaking to my soul through books at the right time and place.

An excellent book on restructuring (or structuring from scratch) your church around a missional mindset. It both explains why to change and how to change.

Another book I can't WAIT to read and work through! (Along with Frank Viola's latest "From Eternity to Here" and Neil Cole's follow up to "Organic Church," "Organic Leadership.) In the fine tradition of Roland Allen, Alexander Rattray Hay, Watchman Nee, Robert Banks, Gene Getz, Howard Synder, Jon Zens, Neil Cole, Frank Viola, and Gene Edwards comes this bombshell of a workbook based on "The Forgotten Ways." Thank you Alan. We can't wait!

As we move into the 21st century I can't think of a more pragmatic book on getting a grasp on how the Lord is reshaping His church in the West. Thoughtful, challenging and practical but by no means a shallow read...now on to the book; since this is just the guide. Deep water ahead but nothing ventured nothing gained. Thank God for brothers like Alan Hirsch.

Great companion to the book. Gave a lot of practical tips and ideas on how to implement the points he discusses in "The Forgotten Ways."

Fine. I read it a while ago, and have forgotten a bit of it. It was a mixed bag.
New way to do church. Makes your brain hurt to read this one. A bit over the top but makes you think.
There are no discussion topics on this book yet.
