Resumen del Editor

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.

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.

Must listen

This is something every church should listen to. Instead of doing many thing poorly, do a few things with excellence.

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.

Simple = Focused and excellent

When a church is simple, it can do a few things well, pouring all its energy into the programs that will help people grow closer to Christ. This book spells it out well - a great read!

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!

Simplicity is brilliance—spiritual map

Discipleship through Clarity, Movement, Alignment and Focus…Just Do It! Follow the simple concept! Difference that will matter.
