From the Back Cover
Think differently. Act differently. Impact
differently.
Jesus designed the church to be an advancing, unstoppable,
revolutionary force. But that is far from what we tend to
experience in the contemporary Western church. In this short ebook,
Alan Hirsch calls you to awaken your potential and join the
movement to make disciples as Jesus did. In this concentrated
briefing for everyday mission he shows you how to . . .
· move out (into missional engagement)
· move in (burrow down into the culture)
· move alongside (engaging in genuine friendships and
relational networks) and
· move from (challenging the dehumanizing and sinful aspects
of our culture)
It's time to get unplugged, reframed, rescripted, and
recommissioned to make a lasting impact on a world in need of
innovative approaches to spreading the Good News.
Are you ready to move forward?

“If missional church remains solely in the domain of leaders and clergy, then it is doubtful we will have any lasting missional impact in the long term. It’s going to take both missional church plus missional disciples to make a missional movement.” (source)
