Kingdom Growth Through Missional Behavior: Growing a Relational Congregation by

The Nile on eBay   Kingdom Growth Through Missional Behavior by Hollis L. Green, E. Basil Jackson

This recount of practical experience, psychological and theological wisdom is made available to the neophyte and to the experienced worker in God's vineyard in a way that will be easy and useful to follow. There is a missional reality that supports a lifestyle! Essentially, a missional reality coalesces around a personalized grasp of scripture that offers a theological shift, a sociological direction, and a distinct lifestyle for believers. The missional mindset is placed in the context of viewing the Cross through the Empty Tomb, seeing culture as a vehicle of communication, the church as a force to work with, not of a field in which to work, because the community and the world is a mission field ready for harvest. What is the Missionary Mindset? What does a missionary know and how do they feel about the lost world? They know beyond a doubt they have been called to serve outside their comfort zone. Kingdom Growth through Missional Behavior is adopting the thinking, behaviors, and practices of a missionary in order to establish and globalize the message of Grace.The scriptural foundation stones for this work were found in Thessalonians, Paul's first letters to a new congregation. A pristine congregation was planted that was unspoiled, a gathering of believers who belonged to the Lord. While on his way to Corinth, Paul sent Timothy back to check on the condition and growth of the new believers.

Review

"This is a delightful and fascinating book, which will possibly contain the most useful material that an ambitious and mission fixated church could ever study. In this work the reader will be exposed to a treasury of thoughts, both intellectual and affective, demonstrating the distillation of many years of experience in actualizing the Kingdom of God. All the possible dimensions of Church Growth are examined and evaluated with experiential Biblically based accuracy and psychological insights. The essence of Koionia is recognized and the methodology proposed is founded on education and proper exegesis of God's Word."
