Musings on Spiritual Matters

by Matthew Morine

Review of “Missional Renaissance”

Missional Renaissance: Changing the Scorecard for the Church (J-B Leadership Network Series)Mostly, I always enjoy Reggie McNeal’s material.  His book “The Present-Future” was excellent.  His material on spiritual leadership and formation is superb as well.  This book did not disappoint.  McNeal takes some of the scholarly concepts of the missional church and explains them to a wider audience.  Not all of the material one will use, but there is a ton of insight into the present world and how the church can engage in this work.  This is a good book for leaders to read and for ministers to read to understand the foundations of the missional church.  You will be inspired and educated.  He deals with three major shifts in the church.  He looks at the shift from internal to external, from program to people development, and from church thinking to kingdom thinking.  I felt that the sections on the first two shifts were excellent.  This is a good introductory book on the missional movement.
