IMPORTANT --- Visit the blog at www.memberdrivenchurch.com for more information on the movement, including a free PDF version of the book. I 'm committed to spread of these ideas and don't want your inability to buy the book to keep your from reading it. BOOK SUMMARY --- Church wasn’t always done the way we do it today. Worship didn’t always mean three to four songs at the beginning of the service. Sermons weren’t always twenty-five to forty-five minutes long. And giving didn’t always include collecting 10% of the members’ income into a single account. Take a fresh look at the church and discover how authentic community, intimate worship, and radical obedience can be a part of your weekend gatherings in a whole new way—without abandoning the timeless truth of the Bible.In this easy to read fable, Drew and Jessica Walker face a crisis that will lead them to epiphany when they encounter a member-driven church for the first time. Drew Walker is a bible-believing associate pastor, wrestling with questions about the rapidly growing, successful church he works for. One too many radical sermons lands him in a career crisis, only to discover his wife has a surprise announcement all her own. In a desperate race against the clock, Drew scrambles to find a new position at a church that is biblically grounded and tangibly serving its community. Visits to a few interested churches only raise more questions. Meanwhile, Drew’s mentor from seminary makes a request that thrusts him into a much bigger quandary than he could have anticipated, launching him into rethinking not just his pastoral career, but the last fifteen centuries of church history.
