It is estimated that 80 percent of churches are either stalled or in decline. In "ChurchMorph", internationally known church observer Eddie Gibbs goes beyond an analysis of causes to show how many churches and faith communities are actually breaking the downward trend. He expertly maps current converging church movements - emerging and missional churches, mainline renewal groups, megachurches, urban mission, new monasticism, alternative worship, and expanding networks - and offers a positive assessment of the reshaping of today's church. The core of the book identifies trends that provide signs of the kingdom and reveals how different faith communities are working out what it means to be 'church' in a changing world. This stimulating and encouraging book will appeal to pastors, church leaders, and students interested in ministry, the emerging church, Christianity and culture, and mission.

The Good Book Stall
Average rating of0.0
Eddie Gibbs is well placed to look at the 'megatrends' in mission and church life and writes a classic about how major trends are reshaping our churches. Academic but straightforward to read, illustrated with stories from around the world, and recognisable in our English context he looks at such topics as post-Christian churches, Fresh Expressions, the megachurch in America, urban engagement and resurgent monasticism. Granted he is a research observer, but this is a valuable piece of work for those interested in mission and evangelism. I was surprised to read, for example, that 25% of people surveyed in a megachurch felt spiritually 'stalled' or 'dissatisfied and considered leaving p96. This study gets under the surface and offers insight and information for missiologists and church leaders alike.
