excellent book on church planting August 14, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is a must read book for church planters. Bob Roberts writes in a very easy to read style but the content is deep. As I was preparing my own book on church planting, I felt compelled to read all the church planting books on the market. This book stood out. It's excellent--pure and simple. I found myself going back to it again and again. Not only is Bob Roberts a successful practioner (having planting approximately 100 churches), he's also a great teacher. His passion can be seen on every page. I also like the way the book is laid out. You won't be disappointed by this book.

Took this book w/ me to Nigeria; it was so good that I gave it away to friend who lives there. Here are a couple of notable quotes that stuck with me (I literally left the book with a friend, so these quotes are coming from the 6 pages of notes that I took)...
1. (pg. 43) we are fixated on the harvest, but have forgotten how to water.
2. (pg. 123) mission of the church = mobilizing believers to serve every domain of society.
3. (pg. 129-ish) a feature of the global church is a long term commitment to a specific place in the world until it becomes a sending place...(YES YES YES!!)
4. (pg. 161) give time to what really matters.
Great book Bob...can't wait for #4, my co-workers are waiting on it!

Not just another church planting book March 30, 2008

I love how Leonard Sweet says that any book by Bob Roberts is an event. Well said! I have a feeling that knowing Bob Roberts is an event as well. I read many books and there is no author that I have come across who practices what he preaches more than Bob. When you read his words you know that you are hearing his heart and that you can trust what he says because he has lived it time and time again. I am a church planting wife who loved the book and I would recommend this book not only to pastors but to the entire church. It's not just enough for the pastor guy to get the vision. Get the book and pass it around!
Church Planting For The Next Generation February 16, 2008
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
For years I was searching for some sort of "Acts 2" movement. This book, along with Transformation & Glocalization gives me hope that others are not only thinking the same way as I am, but many are doing it.
Most books on church planting begin and end with a sort of organizational feel. Build a core, raise some money and do some marketing. These things aren't bad per se...But they don't necessarily change the world.
This book give me hope that the Kingdom can be real and tangible. We can make a "glocal" impact, become friends with others with whom we don't share the same theological beliefs and yet not compromise our own beliefs in the process.
So if you want to be convicted, challenged and inspired, do yourself a favor and pick up this book and start walking in the new "flat" world.
