The chapters will describe the problem with the old and will prepare the reader for the new by first discussing the theology of the cell group structure. Finally, I will tell everthing I can think of which might help those who are ready to journey into the second Reformation--concepts which have been gleaned from many men and many groups in many nations.
It's about church planting, particularly through "cell" groups (or, like the author prefers, "shepherd" groups). Instead of expecting the "unchurched" to come to big auditoriums that are used just once a week, cell groups meet in homes in neighborhoods and are relationship-oriented. The book is cram-packed with ideas and real-life examples. The main problem I have with the book is it's overall structure: I felt like I read everything at least three times. Maybe that was intended.
A excellent and detailed discussion of the cell church strategy. Includes the Biblical basis for such along with a slew of practical advice and tools for implementing the small group ministry anywhere. Many examples are drawn from churches all over the world where the Gospel has spread and the Great Commission accomplished through cell groups.
Neighbour, Jr. seems to be an old school house church guy, so it was interesting to get a perspective from someone who has been in that world for awhile.
