Reclaiming God's Original Intent for the Church

Summary: Another anceint future book
Review: Wes Roberts and Glen Marshall have written a book that takes the leap of faith, but unfortunately it misses. There is no doubt that these two authors genuinely desire authenticity within the Church and in its leaders. They write with an almost prophetic style calling the Church to reflect on its heritage and to consider where it is going and they desire some wholesale changes within the Church. While I agree with the authors that authenticity and character is needed I reject the idea that the Church is institutionalized and therefore crippled or spiritually bankrupt. Furthermore, it is not enough to simply point out what is wrong and what needs to change if you do not supply some practical wisdom on how to create change. In the end this is a book that offers a lot of finger pointing and assigning of blame without offering any real hope for a stronger more effective Church.
