Organic Church: Growing Faith Where Life Happens

Churches have tried all kinds of ways to attract new and younger members - revised vision statements, hipper worship, contemporary music, livelier sermons, bigger and better auditoriums. But there are still so many people who aren't being reached, who don't want to come to church. And the truth is that attendance at church on Sundays does not necessarily transform lives; God's presence in our hearts is what changes us. Leaders and laypeople everywhere are realizing that they need new and more powerful ways to help them spread God's Word. According to international church starter and pastor Neil Cole, if we want to connect with young people and those who are not coming to church, we must go where people congregate. Cole shows readers how to plant the seeds of the Kingdom of God in the places where life happens and where culture is formed - restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, parks, locker rooms,and neighborhoods. Organic Church offers a hands-on guide for demystifying this new model of church and shows the practical aspects of implementing it. more

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-26-2009; The future of the church; It's about time we acknowledged that the church in the Western world basically is not working.

5/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Dec-28-2008; The quiet revolution is taking place; Cole argues that the church as Jesus intended it to be is an organism, not an institution. It follows that we must understand the growth of Christ's church organically, rather than institutionally. While most books on church growth...; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Sep-24-2008; Yes!!!! No!!!!!; Few books have messed with my emotions more than this one. At times I found myself so much in agreement with what Cole had to say that I thought my name was on the cover of the book. But then I'd turn a page or two and find myself...; read full review | report as inappropriate

4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Sep-08-2008; Great Read; This book is a great read for anyone in church ministry. It is a great reminder that we are the body of Christ and that we need to reach out to a people who do not yet know Him.; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: May-18-2007; What makes a church?; I enjoyed Cole's thinking outside the pizza box, his passion for evangelism, and his rather sound explanations of new testament era churches.

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Mar-11-2008; Read the first half.; I loved the first half of this book, even though my parish is running from a far more traditional model. I felt that the course this book suggested could be integrated into a more traditional church for a more balanced approach. But the...; read full review | report as inappropriate
