Book Revue



By Ed Stetzer

If you are a church planter this is a must read. If you want a good book on Missional Living, this might be ok. I really like Ed Stetzer and this book really asks some good questions and brings up some good thoughts about how to think more Missionally and also how to ask better questions about the culture in which you are placed. The idea of code breaking is very relevant at the moment as I find myself thinking through the barriers and stories of Joplin to better connect and share the gospel with the people of my city.

Living among people is one thing. Knowing the people is another. There is some good insight for those who want to move their current church toward thinking more missionally and those thinking through contextualizing the gospel to the people and places God has placed you.
