Blog Tour Sign Up: “Your Church is Too Safe” by Mark Buchanan

by Andrew Rogers

Mark BuchananYour Church is Too Safe is the newest book by Canadian pastor and author, Mark Buchanan. This book is one part manifesto, one part encouragement from a sage, and one part a call-you-out-of-your-soft-ministry reality check. By the end of the book you’ll yearn for your church to have the same power and authenticity as the church of the New Testament, and you’ll have some new ideas on how to actually make that happen.

Another great aspect of this book, Buchanan is a real wordsmith. You can download a PDF sample of the book here, or read my blog from a few weeks back on Chapter 5: “Going to Mordor.”

The blog tour is the last week of March (25th – 31st). Here is the sign up form:

Next Week: “To Transform a City” Blog Tour

by Andrew Rogers

To Transform a City by Eric Swanson and Sam WilliamsWe’re already only a few days away from the To Transform a City Blog Tour, January 10-14. The sign-up for this blog tour was right before Christmas, so I figured everyone might benefit from a reminder. If you’ve received your copy, please post your thoughts up sometime next week.

Here are some things other people have said about the book to whet your appetite:

“Anyone serious about the mission of Jesus will be wonderfully enriched, stretched, and encouraged in very tangible ways by this book.” – Dan Kimball, author, They Like Jesus but Not the Church

“To Transform a City is a primer for how the whole church can take the whole gospel to the whole city. It is a “must-read” guidebook for those engaged in kingdom transformation.” – Kevin Palau, President, Luis Palau Association

“To Transform a City allows you not only to see authentic examples of churches around the world engaging their city but also to synthesize some of their commonalities in a way that is transferable and reproducible. My hope is that the fruit of this book will be an engaged church announcing the kingdom in clear, simple and profound ways in the heart of our communities.” – Dr. Rick McKinley, Pastor, Imago Dei Community Church

Sign up for the “To Transform a City” Blog Tour

by Andrew Rogers

To Transform a City by Eric Swanson and Sam WilliamsAnnouncing the To Transform a City Blog Tour! During January 10-14 we’re asking bloggers to review and discuss Eric Swanson’s and Sam Williams’ new book, To Transform a City: Whole Church, Whole Gospel, Whole City.

In the intro to the book Swanson and Williams cut to the chase with these lines:

There are now, scattered around the globe, more people living in cities than in the rural areas of the world. Most important, this is an irreversible trend. For the rest of human history, the earth’s population will be more urban than rural.3 We believe that this historic shift has huge implications for the mission of the church as we seek to transform our communities.

Ethnic Blends: Social Justice is Who We Are

by Andrew Rogers

Ethnic Blends, Mark DeYmaz, Harry Li, Leadership NetworkA couple of weeks ago we posted the blog tour sign up for Ethnic Blends. Just a reminder for those of you who signed up that the tour is only two weeks away – November 1-5!

In chapter 3, “Overcoming Theological Obstacles” DeYmaz and Li make some salient points about social justice in regards to the multi-ethnic church:

First, we have found that in a healthy multi-ethnic church, social justice is not so much a program to pursure; rather, it is who we are. In other words, a missional mindset quite naturally flows from the diversity of the body itself. In this sense, then, Mosaic [their church] is not som much focused on becoming missional; rather we are the mission! We are not so much focused on building bridges tot he community; we are the community! [emphasis mine] (p.93)
