The story, strategy and heart behind North Point. This is a fascinating insight into the family dynamics of the Stanley family, followed by a probing explanation of the why behind the what of this well-known church. Leaders should read this and prayerfully wrestle with the challenges it contains. It is not a book telling you to make a photocopy of North Point. Rather, it is a book that challenges the way you do church and why you do church. It will make you think. It will also make you excited about the possibilities. If you are involved in church, or might ever consider planting a church, then this is a must-read. Andy Stanley is at pains to explain this is NOT a model to be followed . What it is however is the story of one particular church and the way they addressed situations faced by many of us in our ministry situations. When the book is read as what it is and allowed to stimulate thinking in each persons individual situation it is incredibly valuable. You are not required to agree with the author to get the maximum benefit from the book but rather to recognize the challenges as they occur in your own context.
really good, don't agree with all of it, but certainly thought it was worth the read.
