5.0 out of 5 stars Cutting Edge Thinking on Mission for Today., Jun 11 2004

By	N. Vandersee "finns_dad" (Toowoomba, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you want to be challenged in your thinking about how we do church and mission you have to read this book. Mike Frost and Alan Hirsch are among the foremost thinkers in the world on these areas. They describe the present state of the church acurately and they articulate a method of contextualization that is reproducable anywhere because they don't tell you to adopt their 'model', but instead give you the tools to incarnate the gospel in your own context. This is especially valuable as quite often many books on mission say "Do it our way". Often what works in one culture will not work in another. This book seeks to articulate the theology and methods that can be appplied as easily in North America as they could be in the middle of Africa.

Mike and Alan are evangelical in their theology and uncompromising on the gospel, but they will not hesitate to challenge and overthrow our sacred cows that hinder our mission to 'not yet Christians'. In their methods they are often radical, in their mission they are always passionate. This book will be a great read even if you don't agree with everything they say. If you want to start thinking outside the box, let me encourage you to read "The Shaping of things to Come".

5.0 out of 5 stars Shaping a new kind of church.., May 13 2009

By	Leonard Hjalmarson (Kelowna, British Columbia Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

From church .. to kingdom.
From programs.. to people.
From inward.. to outward.
From organization.. to movement.
From attractional and extractional.. to incarnational.

While "Shaping" is mostly about imagination, as Lewis put it, "Imagination is the vehicle of understanding." Likely you already know what Einstein said.. We don't reach a new future without new lenses and new questions. The gift of Frost and Hirsch is the ability to frame new questions and help us see the need.. no.. absolute requirement.. for new ways of seeing. Our seeing will shape our being.

This is really a tour de force of the new world and the need for missional-incarnational communities, and consequently for a new kind of leadership. The authors are articulate and also adept at metaphors. "Shaping" is a great place to start if your secure world is showing cracks for which you have no explanation. In 220 pages, four sections and twelve chapters you will have lights going on and a sense of new hope for the gospel engaging culture in the declining west. After reading the book you might also consider connecting with the new FORGE network in Canada or the US.
