The subtitle of the book is “What Happens When a Seeker Church Discovers Spiritual Formation.” It is the honest account of the beautiful but painful fallout that occurred when Kent Carlson and Mike Lueken redirected their church from attracting consumers to making disciples. It is my belief that this is the great need of the American church. We have succeeded at drawing crowds, but not at making disciples. So, we cater our programs to keeping consumers happy, rather than fulfilling the Great Commission. There is the constant pressure to “Feed the Beast.” Because of the much needed corrective offered in this book, Renovation of the Church makes the list of 20 “Must Pack” books.
Like the Apostle Paul, I want more than anything to know Christ (Phil. 3:10). I do not want to simply know about Him. I want to know Him-- personally, intimately, and experientially. It is not enough for me to hear about Him. I want to see Him with my own eyes.
