Tangible Kingdom – Hugh Halter
Dave Fitch's book is still the best on missional church, but for 'introduction to....' The Tangible Kingdom by Hugh Halter and Matt Smay is the best out there. I'm halfway through and although i haven't encountered much in the way of new thinking, I love some of the quotes, I have included one here:
"Church is the place you go to, and attendees don't have to do much in the way of mission because the pros do it for t hem. We show up at church to get what we want ((which is feeding from a leader), not what we need (to feed ourselves and others). If we don't get what we want, we head to the place next door because that chaplain is better at giving us what we want." pg 56
If this is an accurate description of your church may I suggest you reach and grasp something more? You were meant for it.
