Been reading Alan Hirsch's The Forgotten Ways: Reactivating the Missional Church. Very helpful, potentially church-life changing . . .
From the forward: "Hirsch has discovered the formula that unlocks the secrets of the ecclesial universe like Einstein's simple . . . formula [E=mc2] unlocked the secrets of the physical universe." (Leonard Sweet)
"A fascinating and unique examination of two of the greatest apostolic movements in history (the early church - and China) and their potential impact on the Western church at the dawn of the twenty-first century. The book may well become a primary reference book for the emerging missional church." (Bill Easum)
I also recommend - Hirsch's book, co-authored with Michael Frost: The Shaping of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21st Century Church and, while I'm at it, Alan J. Roxburgh's The Sky is Falling: Leaders Lost in Transition.
