Transforming Communities - Steven Croft
Ref: hps8
Christians in every place are asking questions about the life of the church. How do we re-imagine what congregations can become? How can we develop new ways of becoming church which are sustainable and have the capacity for growth, mission and renewal? Transforming Communities draws on new thinking about the church from a variety of sources including academic theology, cell church, base ecclesial communities and the author's own experience of wrestling with these issues as an Anglican vicar and theological educator. This book is intended for clergy, students, lay leaders concerned with pastoral re-organisation, small group leaders and church members.

The Gospel-Driven Church - Ian Stackhouse
Ref: 18
This book is an enquiry into the culture of revivalism and the urgent need to retrieve core ministry practices of the church.
Charismatic Renewal has at the core of its ideology an aspiration for revival. This is a laudable aspiration, but in recent years, in the absence of a large-scale evangelistic impact, it has encouraged a faddist mentality among church leaders. The Gospel Driven Church documents this development and the numerous theological and pastoral distortions that take place when genuine revival fervour transmutes into revivalism. Moreover, Stackhouse aims to show how a retrieval of some of the core practices of the church, such as preaching, sacraments, the laying of hands and prayer is essential at this crucial stage in the trajectory of the renewal movement in the UK. He commends to church leaders a recovery of these means of grace - including Spirit baptism - as a way of keeping the church centred on gospel rather than mere pragmatic concerns about size and numbers.

Jesus Driven Ministry - Ajith Fernando
Ref: 2700
Ajith believes that Christian work can be both effective and joyful. With compassion and honesty he identifies the foundational elements for ministry success - relating with people to whom one ministers, retreating from busyness to prayer, being affirmed and empowered by God, growing in a team, and gaining strength from God's word. And, crucially, he exhorts this generation of leaders to be godly role-models for the next - by following the example of Jesus.
Ajith is a Methodist minister in Sri Lanka, has been the Director of Youth for Christ there for more than 20 years and was the main speaker at Castlewellan Holiday Week in 2002.

More Ready Than You Realise - Brian McLaren
Ref: 702
This is not just another book on evangelism - it contains fresh, encouraging, challenging, groundbreaking and doable ideas for reaching people living in the postmodern world… What's Out? Evangelism as sales pitch, as conquest, as warfare, as ultimatum, as threat, as proof, as argument, as entertainment, as show, as monologue, as something you have to do. What's In? Disciple-making as conversation, as friendship, as influence, as invitation, as companionship, as challenge, as opportunity, as conversation, as dance, as something you get to do. You're more ready for this than you realize, and so are your friends!

Worshipping Trinity - Robin Parry
Ref: 33
Written for church leaders, worship leaders and songwriters as well as those interested in theology, Robin Parry looks at why the Trinity matters and addresses pressing questions such as: o What is the relationship between theology and worship? o Why is the Trinity central to Christian living and believing? o Does the Trinity help us understand what we do when we worship? o How can we write and select songs that foster an awareness of the Trinity? o How can we make the Trinity central through Holy Communion, spiritual gifts, preaching, and the use of the arts?
Practical and realistic, Worshipping Trinity shows how we can maintain the centrality of the Trinity in a fast-changing worship culture. 'An extremely valuable resource for…any pastor, leader or worshipping heart.' Matt Redman
