Reviews
"Thriving in a changing world demands ongoing renewal and adaptive work. Kevin Ford provides an outstanding resource, rooted in groundbreaking research, to the church community and beyond. This book is deeply insightful, comprehensive, and inspiringly practical. I highly commend it to anyone with the courage to lead adaptive change."--Ron Heifetz, Founding Director, Harvard University's Center for Public Leadership"Important and insightful...Ford delves into the deeper issues pastors and congregations must face. He promises no easy answers or quick fixes, but he does set forth a blueprint for church renewal that cannot help but transform our churches - and our lives. This book is 'must reading' for every pastor and church leader, and I pray for its widest circulation."--Billy Graham"A pill, a computer keystroke, a twelve-second sound bite. We moderns are addicted to mini-morsels and quick fixes and we wonder why our evangelical imprint on the culture blurs. Here, now, at last, a perceptive voice speaks on the pages of Kevin Ford's Transforming Church.Having read scores of books claiming to have the ultimate answer to our contemporary confusion, this thoughtful discussion is a breath of fresh air. Intense, realistic research, welded with incisive interpretation and application of the Scriptures, highlights our root problem: emphasizing church breadth instead of church health. Read and reflect on the probing questions of this book. When consistently applied with dependence on the Holy Spirit, watch for transformation in a church. One size does not fit all-every community demands unique leadership seeking the vitality of each member in the pursuit of God's divine pattern. This book is outstanding - one of the best I've read in years. A real winner!"--Howard G. Hendricks, Distinguished Professor, Center for Christian Leadership, Dallas Theological Seminary"By nature, humans resist change. I've seen this for years in the prison system and in churches. Yet the greatest challenge for a leader, particularly in Christian service, is to move people out of their comfort zone. Look at the life of Moses. The people of God resisted and rebelled and complained. But the leader had to look beyond the immediate circumstance and see the vision of God, and lead people to it. That's what is desperately needed today in the church. And Kevin Ford has given us a biblically grounded, well-researched, culturally incisive book to this end. It will help professional and volunteer church leaders exercise leadership as our churches are transformed, and in turn our communities are transformed; an important resource as the church navigates through challenging and often hostile waters."--Charles W. Colson, Founder and Chairman, Prison Fellowship
