Synopsis
This is the story of the birth and growth of Seattleâs innovative Mars Hill Church, one of Americaâs fastest growing churches located in one of Americaâs toughest mission fields. Itâs also the story of the growth of a pastor, the mistakes heâs made along the way, and Godâs grace and work in spite of those mistakes. Mark Driscollâs 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, heâs 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 churchâs ministry, no matter its present size. The book includes discussion questions and appendix resources. âAfter 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 donât know Jesus.ââDan Kimball, author,The Emerging Church â⦠will make you laugh, cry, and get mad ⦠school you, shape you, and mold you into the right kind of priorities to lead the church in todayâs messy world.ââRobert Webber, Northern Seminary
