In this provocative book, McNeal debunks old assumptions and provides an overall strategy to help church leaders move forward in an entirely different and much more effective way. He identifies the six most important realities that church leaders must address including: recapturing the spirit of Christianity and replacing "church growth" with a wider vision of kingdom growth; developing disciples instead of church members; fostering the rise of a new apostolic leadership; focusing on spiritual formation rather than church programs; and shift, from prediction and planning to preparation for the challenges of an uncertain world.
