Confessions of a Reformission Rev.: Hard Lessons from an Emerging Missional Church (The Leadership Network Innovation)

This is the story of the birth and growth of Seattleâ€™s innovative Mars Hill Church, one of Americaâ€™s fastest growing churches located in one of Americaâ€™s toughest mission fields. Itâ€™s also the story of the growth of a pastor, the mistakes heâ€™s made along the way, and Godâ€™s grace and work in spite of those mistakes. Mark Driscollâ€™s emerging, missional church took a rocky road from its start in a hot, upstairs youth room with gold shag carpet to its current weekly attendance of thousands. With engaging humor, humility, and candor, Driscoll shares the failures, frustrations, and just plain messiness of trying to build a church that is faithful to the gospel of Christ in a highly post-Christian culture. In the telling, heâ€™s not afraid to skewer some sacred cows of traditional, contemporary, and emerging churches. Each chapter discusses not only the hard lessons learned but also the principles and practices that worked and that can inform your churchâ€™s ministry, no matter its present size. The book includes discussion questions and appendix resources. â€œAfter reading a book like this, you can never go back to being an inwardly focused church without a mission. Even if you disagree with Mark about some of the things he says, you cannot help but be convicted to the inner core about what it means to have a heart for those who donâ€™t know Jesus.â€â€•Dan Kimball, author,The Emerging Church â€œâ€¦ will make you laugh, cry, and get mad â€¦ school you, shape you, and mold you into the right kind of priorities to lead the church in todayâ€™s messy world.â€â€•Robert Webber, Northern Seminary
