Phenomenal read on Christ-Centered Emergence July 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am loving Bruce Sanguin's book - I have to rate it a WOW! I primarily come from the post-evangelical side of the emergent aisle, but hearing this mainline minister's creation-centered, Spiral-ly dynamic, evolutionary take on Christian spirituality is refreshing. While I don't agree with the author's every contour (nor, I think, would he want me to uncritically), I really appreciate how he synthesizes a host of influences from Matt Fox to Ken Wilber and shows how they've incubated in his congregation these past dozen years.
And can I say that the cover is *gorgeous*?
Highly recommended!
Transforming Your Church or Doing it Right The First Time July 1, 2008 Synopsis: The Rev. Bruce Sanguin, realizing the importance of creating a practical guide for both ministers and congregations who are seeking to transform their congregational culture, rebuild a dying church or start a new church will find this practical yet inspiring guide for pastors or consultants to pastors immensely helpful. Pastor Sanguin grounds this book in the experience of his own congregation over ten years, as a way to establish context and to share real-life examples. You will be able to use his guidance immediately, or translate his direction so that it will match more effectively your personal situation. At the same time, Bruce inspires the reader to understand how to inspire your congregation to understand how effective and spiritually nourished they will be when the picture of success that he helps you to paint for your people becomes for everyone a realistic reality. Written in language laypeople can understand, this book is filled with no-nonsense, realistic advice on the pitfalls and possibilities of following the vision of an emerging congregation .
