'My gratitude to Kester Brewin for raising so helpfully the questions we must address if the aspiration of "Mission Shaped Church" is to go beyond rhetoric.' Richard Chartres, Bishop of London
Kester Brewin knows what he's saying and he says it well. This book should have got more notice in the Greenbelt / emerging church circuit - I wonder if he's too self-effacing. He's fresh, and sound, and those never at the expense of each other. His purchase on Christian life now has the instinct and courage and surety of humble leadership, the best kind of leadership. Occasionally he labours a point, maybe something he'll iron out of his writing style with future writing and publishing, which I hope is on his horizon and ours.
the best book on the Emerging church that I have read. Kester is by far in the top 5 thinkers on this topic. He is a true prophet and sees the future of the church very clear....his book is what I want to model as I seek to live out my faith day to day with others.
