Providing Rockbridge Seminary students with learning tips, ministry resources, and course upgrade news
Yea, I admit it … I am a huge Reggie McNeal fan. He is more in touch with the church’s missional challenge than any writer I know. His new book Missional Renaissance: Changing the Scorecard for the Church has just been released (already downloaded to my Kindle). If you’ve completed the course “The Theology & Practice of Evangelism,” you may be particularly interested.
Here’s why he wrote the book:
With everyone getting on the missional bandwagon, and everyone talking “missional,” and labeling so much as missional, there is a real danger that what it really means to be missional will become lost in the clutter. I wanted to write a book that distills the basicDNA of what missional really is.
Second, I wanted to give church leaders a way to talk about missional in ways that people would “get it.”Third, I wanted to help leaders develop a scorecard that rewarded their missional efforts.The church growth era certainly had a scorecard (one that we are still using) that declared winners and losers at that game.We need a scorecard that gives expression to the multi-dimensional facets of the missional church.

Leadership Network says this about Missional Renaissance:
Reggie is one of those writers that you know is going to be a fabulous read. This book is no exception. In fact it may just become not only a primer for the next two decades but the primary text book.
