Christian Living
“In this exploration of missional spirituality, Barry Jones offers an assessment of our broken world and the common errors and bent practices that subvert a rich engagement. Then he shows us the horizon: a vision of the coming shalom of God's kingdom. But more than a mere vision, he shows us the path to pursue in living with God for the world, a grammar for the disciplines in five words: attentiveness, receptivity, embodiment, community, and rhythm. In a lovely integration of head and heart, he closes with a chapter on 'placemaking.' The covenantal triangle has not changed: God, people and place—that's the way to shalom and God's new world!”

“Bob shares his warm and wise anecdotes around the frame of living in and for the kingdom of God. He shares thoughtfully and vulnerably from a life lived in service to the King and his people across denominational and international boundaries. His immersion in Scripture and his able application of God’s word in this strange post-Christendom location offer food for the journey and encouragement for the road.”
Christian Living
“This tour through the frameworks and forces that make us who we are, 'clothed in Christ' but also in the garments of family and culture, enables us to locate ourselves in a deeper way. Since knowing God and knowing self are interwined, Gareth Brandt invites us into a richly textured life of discipleship, a life that is colored by the complex threads that interweave a life in this world.”
Church Leadership & Ministry
“Passion, imagination, and clear analysis; organization theory and historical perspective; biblical depth and cultural sensitivity—the first time I read The Shaping of Things to Come, I was stunned. Where had these guys come from? They quoted my favorite authors and wove it together with a perspective on the captivity of the church that was both prophetic and pastoral. And they saw where it needed to go because they were on the ground working for change while participating in a global conversation. The astonishing thing is how current the book remains. This update celebrates the ongoing story of missional recovery as the world moves deeper into post-Christendom. If this is your first read, fasten your seatbelt and open your heart. Listen for the Spirit; you won’t be disappointed.”
