Imagine Church: Releasing Dynamic Everyday Disciples

By Neil Hudson

How can an ordinary church grow disciples who live their whole lives as followers of Jesus? Disciples whose faith shapes their attitudes as neighbours, colleagues and family members?
Our time in church needs to equip us to be salt and light in our time out there. Drawn from the hard-won lessons of the Imagine project, this book offers help and hope from churches which have begun to do just that:
* Lessons from three years' work with pilot churches
* Practical ideas for your church
* Real-life stories of churches and individuals
It doesn't offer quick fixes. There aren't any. Instead, it offers new hope and little changes which change everything.

His team offer training days, learning communities and develop resources for churches to use on an ongoing basis.

[cbinstead_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Good practical look at whole-life discipleship. Not a 12-week programme or anything daft like that; often talks about one-degree change.
