The Shaping of Things to Come, Michael Frost and Alan Hirsch
read 4th January 2005
I've been tackling this book for a while so it only really counts as half a book. It is essentially about what the church might need to reshape itself as to be effective in the current culture.
The book has a lot of long words- which I think are in the main unnecessary. I found it a bit annoying at first- almost like the writers were trying to prove themselves academically. There are also enough factual inaccuracies to make you doubt the research that has alledgedly been done.
But as the book went on I warmed to it. Its encouraging in quite a lot of what it is saying. They seems to run out of long words which is also good. The stuff on leadership is very Wizard of Oz, I like that. Its nothing that you won't know if you've been awake for a few years but its always reassuring to know that you are not going mad.
