Toby Jones 
The Way of Jesus [EPUB ebook] 
Re-Forming Spiritual Communities in a Post-Church Age

Countless books have been written about the impending death of the institutional church, but this one both celebrates the resurrection that will follow and lights the way toward a new kind of spiritual community. The Way of Jesus identifies seven principles upon which authentic and vibrant Christian communities can be built in today’s diverse and ever shrinking world.
Toby Jones traveled across the country, from San Francisco’s Glide Memorial Church to New York’s Church of the Holy Apostles, and from Chicago’s Wicker Park Grace to Minneapolis’s Solomon’s Porch. He sojourned with seven communities in all and conducted in-depth interviews with their leaders and participants to reveal what distinguishes resurrection communities from those in precipitous decline.
In The Way of Jesus, Jones draws both from the scriptures and from such fresh thinkers as Brian Mc Laren, Dallas Willard, Doug Pagitt, and Shane Claiborne, offering genuine hope and practical direction to the millions of spiritually homeless. But just as importantly, The Way of Jesus offers a clear path to struggling, shrinking congregations who desire to re-form themselves in a way that is both more faithful to the Gospel and compelling to post-modern generations, who have long since abandoned the institutional church.
