Rhythms of Reformation

Church Leadership & Ministry

“In this timely and thoughtful work, Garth Ball brings a pastoral and prophetic burden to bear on one of the most urgent questions facing the twenty-first-century church: What is God saying to us in the aftermath of the global disruption of COVID-19? Drawing from reflective practice, experiential learning, and dialogue among trusted practitioners, he presents a courageous call to reformation. Reformation is a weighty and provocative word—one that speaks of necessary change, purification, and realignment so the church might once again reflect its God-given purpose. Throughout church history, faithful leaders have recognized the apostolic task of returning to biblical patterns of leadership and mission, seeking alignment with the original mandate of Scripture. With an apostolic mindset and prophetic edge, Garth explores the sociological, psychological, and spiritual terrain of our moment, offering fresh insight into the transition the church is undergoing. This work is a valuable resource for leaders and practitioners who long to navigate this season with clarity, conviction, and courage. I commend it wholeheartedly.”
