Product Details


Product Description

From AudioFile

Based on a study of 88 churches, this production discusses the concept of simplicity as it relates to spirituality. The authors compare church attendance to inviting guests into one's home. In a melodious baritone, Grover Gardner delivers their description of how guests arrive in the entryway, which is like the church foyer. They then liken guests in the living room to church attendees sitting in pews for a sermon. When the house guests become friends, they say, they're invited into the kitchen, and they liken that to attendees joining the church and becoming involved with the ministry. Gardner narrates with full attention to details as he interprets the authors' urging that churches return to simple methods of sharing the gospel.

Product Description

The simple revolution has begun. From the design of the iPod to the uncluttered Google home page, simple ideas are changing the world.

Simple Church clearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak.

Based on case studies of four hundred American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus.

Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should be called "Focused Church", April 15 2009
By Kevin Powell (Lethbridge, AB Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I had high hopes for this book. While I agree with the basic thesis that churches need to simplify their organization in order to prioritize, I found the authors' church examples betrayed their premise. They focussed mainly on megachurches, which are complex organizations, not "simple" as the authors would have the reader believe.

They are right, however, in saying that churches need to focus on the essentials of the faith: making disciples, rather than going off in any and every direction.

4.0 out of 5 stars Simply Necessary for Cluttered Churches, April 30 2008
By Ellen Graf-Martin "Ellen's Picks" (Ontario) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
It's clear that in a hectic, cluttered culture we desire simplicity. Church should be the first place we find this counter-cultural simplicity! Geiger & Rainer lay out in a methodical, logical and proven fashion how to clean up how we do church so that we create real, growing disciples.
