Sample Chapter - "Teacher to Facilitator a conversation about Learning"
"It is rare that a person writes a book to explain his obsession. It is rare that a person’s obsession is to explore the complexity of how a 2000+ year old body called the church is navigating a series of tectonic changes in the global culture. Some obsessions are more interesting, more complex and more urgent than others. This ranks high on all counts. This book is neither a prophetic diatribe nor a happy faced cheerbook about the church and its culture. It is a serious reflection from a man who sits in the center of many conversations about the topic and knows better than to attempt a neatly tied solution. It allows the reader to enter into the confusion and emerge unscathed in the body, but changed in the heart. It will result in a greater depth of understanding of a very complex issue and a greater hope in God’s character as the one who is controlling the affairs of both the church and the culture."
