I mean that. This book offers a fundamental shift in how we need to approach thinking about the ways we understand and operate as churches. Weaving together Scriptural wisdom, spiritual formation, the latest research across multiple disciplines, and his on-the-ground experience as a missionary, entrepreneur, and evangelism professor, Moon explains that the Western church’s malaise comes from an inability to see God’s vision for what the church is supposed to be. He then provides creative and clear directions for how even the humblest congregation can be formed into that vision. Accessible for all readers—not just pastors and professors—Moon will not only spark your imagination but give you the enthusiasm and the tools to tackle everything from reimagining your mission through prayer and Bible study to aligning your finances and technology to support that mission.” \u003cstrong\u003eꟷMark R.
