If you are "faithful" but are reluctant to change, "steady" and "safe" but fearful of growth, then you will not like this book. However, you probably need to read it!
Andrew Heard, Australian Pastor and theologian, is unafraid of confronting a problem head-on and addressing the elephants in the room. He argues that growth and change are at the heart of the gospel of Jesus Christ, who is transforming His people into His perfect image by His grace through His Spirit. Growth and change are not optional add-ons – they are essential to the Christian life. This makes it essential for church leaders to grapple with the tensions and challenges that growth and change bring, and their practical outworking in church life.
