Anyone want to join me in reading some books and then get together [either on-line or in a coffeehouse] to discuss?
Here are some suggested reading to get the ball rolling:
- Missionary Methods, St. Paul’s or Ours? (Roland Allen)
- Organic Church (Neil Cole)
- Church-Planting Movements (David Garrison)
- Houses that Change the World (Wolfgang Simson)
- Pagan Christianity (Frank Viola, George Barna)
- Rethinking the Wineskin (Frank Viola)
- So you want to start a House Church? (Frank Viola)
- The Untold Story of the NT Church (Frank Viola- in fact anything by him!)
- Forgotten Ways (Alan Hirsch)
- Jesus for President (Shane Claiborne, Chris Haw)
- Everything Must Change (Brian Mclaren)
- The New Conspirators (Tom Sine)
Any other suggestions welcome…oh, and mines a chai latte with caramel!

Hi Peter,
Thought you might be interested to know there’s a feature documentary in production called “The Ordinary Radicals” that includes a number of the folks on your reading list. For more information, how to order & production updates, check out theordinaryradicals.com
Best,

The sequel to “Pagan Christianity?” is out now. It’s called “Reimagining Church”. It picks up where “Pagan Christianity” left off and continues the conversation. (“Pagan Christianity” was never meant to be a stand alone book; it’s part one of the conversation.) “Reimagining Church” is endorsed by Leonard Sweet, Shane Claiborne, Alan Hirsch, and many others. You can read a sample chapter at http://www.ReimaginingChurch.org. It’s also available on Amazon.com. Frank is also blogging now at http://frankviola.wordpress.com/
