Paul B. reviewed on 7/17/2011 + 2 more book reviews

Excellent resource. It starts out a little tenuous, because the miracles the first part relies on seem to be very poorly documented. But then Jim goes on into the dynamics of the new "open church", and he gives a lot of insight. His final chapter, on an imaginary plenary church meeting, had me in tears for its vision of how the church should be operating. Finally, the appendix is loaded with resources for moving forward into a new church life, and many of them are freely available. Unfortunately the website supporting the book has been taken down (as have some of the resources).

The book is written in an easy, informal style, but nonetheless packs a major punch. Highly recommended.
