The third book in the trilogy that explores the popular
missional movement
From Reggie Mc Neal, the bestselling author of The Present
Future and Missional Renaissance, comes the third book
in the series that helps to define and illuminate the popular
missional movement. This newest book in the trilogy examines a
natural outgrowth of the move toward a missional orientation: the
deconstruction of congregations into very small Christian
communities. For all those thousands of churches and leaders who
have followed Reggie Mc Neal’s bold lead, this book details the rise
of a new life form in churches.
* Discusses how to move a church from an internal to an external
ministry focus
* Reggie Mc Neal is a recognized leader in the missional
movement
* Outlines an alternative to the program church model that is
focused on the projects and passions of the congregants
This book draws on Mc Neal’s twenty years of leadership roles in
local congregations and his work over the last decade with
thousands of clergy and church leaders.
