Future Church is a fascinating consideration of why the church in North America has failed to create multiplying, disciples-making-disciples communities.

Most church leaders I work with have been wrestling with a gnawing feeling that something needs to shift in our churches. Are we truly making disciples or just entertaining followers? What should we be measuring? How do we know were accomplishing our mission? Future Church is an essential read for every church leader who is committed to defining real growth in a new era of ministry leadership.

Future Church invites twenty-first-century followers of Jesus to reanchor in the ancient charter of a radically missional movement. The book navigates the polarity of church models mired in well-intended handicaps by offering refreshing tertium quid type clarity on what could be, what must be. As a constructive plea, Future Church s experience-based frameworks and principles invite leaders to reject the enduring growth limitations of yesterdays compromised models for breakthroughs today.
