Críticas

"Eddie Gibbs has written one of the clearest and most compelling books available on what churches need to do in this century to break out of standard, time-worn approaches to building and revitalizing congregations. He calls for fresh new approaches based on a biblical vision of the role of the church, urging us to move from maintenance to mission, from dead orthodoxy to living faith. Religious leaders, clergy and lay, would do well to have this book on their desk at all times."--George Gallup, Jr., co-chairman, The Gallup Organization

"This book is descriptive, prescriptive, visionary and brutally honest. It is one of the half-dozen indispensable texts for informing the emerging shape of the church."--Geroge G. Hunter, School of World Mission and Evangelism, Asbury Theological Seminary

"Gibbs analyzes the new church models that are springing up and proposes nine areas that the church needs to change in order to be true to its message and its mission."--Christian Retailing, April 1, 2000
