Culture Shift :
Transforming Your Church
from the Inside Out
by Robert Lewis, Wayne Cordeiro, Warren Bird, Erwin Raphael McManus
Culture Shift, written for church leaders, ministers,
pastors, ministry teams, and lay leaders, leads you through the
process of identifying your church’s distinctive culture, gives you
practical tools to change it from the inside-out, and provides steps
to keep your new culture aligned with your church’s mission. Real
transformation is not about working harder at what you’re already
doing or even copying another church’s approach but about changing
church culture at a foundational level.

No Perfect People Allowed
by John Burke
The age demographic of twelve- to thirty-five-year-olds is America’s
most unchurched generation. But God is using innovative new churches
to reach thousands of spiritually curious "imperfect people" for his
kingdom. No Perfect People Allowedchallenges Christian leaders to
engage in the messy art of creating a culture that will reach our
postmodern, post-Christian society. The book tells stories of God’s
perfect work in the lives of imperfect people, showing that the
community of believers is what serves as the final apologetic in a
post- Christian age. Although the missional leadership required for
creating an authentic new "come-as-youare" culture may feel
uncomfortable at first, it holds hope and healing. This book also
teaches leaders how to deconstruct five main barriers standing
between emerging generations and Christian faith, revealing how the
culture of a church can go from being the unseen enemy to becoming
its greatest ally. |
