The rules have changed. We can continue following rules that no longer apply, or we can craft a new game plan. As a church leader, which approach will you choose?
The rules have changed. We can continue following rules that no longer apply, or we can craft a new game plan. As a church leader, which approach will you choose? In Should We Change Our Game Plan, George (Chuck) Hunter methodically lays out the foundational arguments for a radically new approach. He begins with a survey of where we have been, examining the secularization of our world. He shows a clear picture of where we are now, new rules and all. He then discusses four critical aspects of church life that we must evaluate and re-shape, if we are to fulfill Christ's mission in this new age.Hunter's writing is clear, thorough, eminently credible, and enjoyable. Game Plan is an excellent resource for all church leaders who need help in understanding (or explaining) why and how the Church must change.
