Editorial Review: Product Description: The simple revolution has begun. From the design of the iPod to the uncluttered Google home page, simple ideas are changing the world. Simple Church clearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak. Based on case studies of four hundred American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus. Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify.

Could have done without all the charts in the book :) Rating: - "Simple Church" is simply great!Simple Church: Returning to God's Process for Making Disciples Rainer and Geiger do their homework, reach strong conclusions, and express them with utmost clarity and simplicity. I have been working through this book with the leaders in my church and there is a level of excitement about it that surprises even me! We are coming up with a simple process for the fundamental task of God's mission, namely "making disciples", that will unify and solidify the entire ministry of our local church for years to ...

The statistics are skewed and the survey findings are not able to be generalized to the overall population. There was no random sampling, and so the findings were significant because they surveyed significant churches and failing church.... several times the data in the form of graphs show something totally different than what they state their findings are, which makes the skewing even more evident than usual, if they had let the data say what the data says, and not force the data ...
