Das Buch behandelt die Veränderung der Gemeinden und die Hoffnung, die aus der Menschwerdung Gottes erwächst. Alan Roxburgh und Fred Romanuk untersuchen, wie neue Kompetenzen, insbesondere in der Leiterschaft, entwickelt werden können. Es geht um eine flexible Leitungskultur, die Netzwerke fördert und den Dienst am Menschen in den Fokus stellt.
Focusing on the transition from a consumer-oriented church model to a missional mindset, the authors explore practical leadership strategies for engaging communities outside the church. They emphasize the need for leaders to adapt to significant changes and challenges in both the church and society. By addressing the inadequacies of traditional training rooted in a Christendom perspective, the book offers a comprehensive approach to leadership that prioritizes community needs over predetermined goals. It acknowledges the tumultuous nature of this shift, providing a thoughtful guide for contemporary church leaders.
