The Forgotten Ways - Alan Hirsch

I also wanted tell you about a new (but not brand new) book that my wife and I have been reading. In all our reading on new ways of doing church, it’s the first resource we’ve seen that connects today’s thinking about post-modern or post-Christendom or “emerging / missional/ incarnational” ministry to some familiar concepts about people group movements. We were affirmed and, at the same time, challenged by hearing the author speak at a recent Church Planting Canada conference. We’re far enough into the book now that we could hardily recommend it as a good overview of what some are seeing as the future of the church – the current situation and the challenges but also the possibilities.

 Here’s the info:
