Glocalization: How Followers of Jesus Engage a Flat World
If you want to know where and how the church is going to grow, think local and global. Think glocal.
Glocal is Bob Roberts' term for the seamless connectedness between the local and global. That connection is affecting the church in ways that never could have been imagined in the first-century church, or even the twentieth-century church. And it's creating unprecedented opportunities for individuals and churches---for you and your church---to live out their faith in real time across the world.
Glocalization offers a vision of the unprecedented changes of our times and how they are impacting the church. Discover how these changes will transform the way churches define their mission and how Christians relate to one another and to the world. This provocative book turns the traditional mission-agency model upside down and shows how transformed people and churches can make a glocal (global and local) impact.
Glocalization offers an exciting vision for churches and individuals who want to reach this changing world for Christ.

Undercooked
This book offers a great concept of whole-life discipleship that will impact the world both locally and globally. What it fails to do is lay out an argument or a systematized plan. The author's thoughts seem scatterbrained and difficult to follow. Many of the author's theological arguments are underdeveloped or taken out of context. You can definitely catch the drift by reading the first and last chapters.

There are so many things I disagreed with in this book that I'm overwhelmed just thinking about writing a review. My favorite part of this book was being done with it.

Great book. I loved it. I think many Christians will be challenged by this book, which is a good thing.
