Total Church
Description
The authors apply these principles to church planting, evangelism, apologetics, social involvement, leadership, discipleship, pastoral care, world mission and notions of success. They critique current trends within the church: emerging church movements are strong on community but weak on truth, while conservative evangelicalism is strong on truth but weak on community. Their call is a call for the best of both.
This is a timely and provocative book which deserves to be widely read and applied.

Customer Reviews
Church leaders should read this book . . .
This is a book that scratches where I have been itching for so many years. Refreshing combination of solid biblical truth simply explained, with a fresh application. Timmis and Chester take what we all know and challenge us to actually put it into practice. This book should be required Reading for all church leaders. So a huge thank you to steve and tim for scratching where I itched.
