★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review. What a stir of pastors transgressing in moral and legal areas, church boards that are dysfunctional and controlling (or disengaged), and the failures of its members and leaders. It seems to be an ongoing headline. No wonder culture is losing trust in the Church.
McKnight and Barringer suggest another way - forming accountability and vision that shapes a trusted and useful institution "that resists abuses of power." That would include empathy, grace, and a focus on people. With the model of their congregation, the authors lead church leaders and members through practical steps toward health and significance.
Wouldn't you like to be part of a church like that instead?
