Millions are satisfied to sit through hour-long, weekly religious services. Millions more have left the church, brokenhearted and cynical.

We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

Publisher's summary
The simple revolution has begun. From the design of the iPod to the uncluttered Google homepage, simple ideas are changing the world. Simple Church clearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak.
Based on case studies of 400 American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus. Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify.

Story
Why should you join a church? Becoming a member of a church is an important, and often neglected, part of the Christian life. Yet the trend these days is one of shunning the practice of organized religion and showing a distaste or fear of commitment, especially of institutions. Jonathan Leeman addresses these issues with a straightforward explanation of what church membership is and why it's important. Giving the local church its proper due, Leeman has built a compelling case for committing to the local body.

Story
If churches are the dwelling place of God’s spirit, why are so many built around the strategies of man? Eager for growth, leaders can be lured by entertaining new schemes, forgetting doctrinal truth as their driving force. Churches must humbly lean on the sufficiency of God’s word. How to Build a Healthy Church challenges leaders to evaluate their motivations for ministry and provides examples of healthy, deliberate leadership. This is more than a step-by-step plan to mimic; it’s a biblical blueprint for pastors, elders, and anyone committed to the church’s vitality.

Fascinating
I loved the outline of a Simple Church. The most memorable thing was the section on eliminating areas that holds people back. I am not currently overseeing a congregation; but I pray to share the information I have heard to my Pastor. We must change.

Great book, lots of great insights
I enjoyed Simple Church. I thought it did a good job of comparing older model churches with other churches to help pastors and leaders see some areas that likely need improvement. Its never easy to change but if we don't change we aren't going to last.

Thought Provoking
The authors have a lot of great ideas. However, I felt that their research was too narrow. I do recommend it to church leaders.

great idea, great explantation
Being a Pastor and teacher I greatly enjoyed how the book unfolded including explaining the research behind the process as well as implementation. If you're planting or established in your church it's a worthwhile investment to read and apply.

good book.
Very good points but can be repetitive at times. Helps you look at the big picture of church structure. Good for those looking to improve the performance of their church process and maximize staff effort.

Probably the best book I’ve ever listened to.
This book is hands down one of if not the best book in church structure that I’ve ever listened to. Becoming simple is not that simple, but this book breaks it down in a way that is so simple. A fresh breath in your leadership and new approach to everything related to church and ministry. An absolute MUST READ!!

Biblical church strategy at it's purest
I so wish that this was required Bible college reading. We have already begun to implement this at our church and we are seeing God bless and people grow!
