Apostles and Prophets: The Foundation of the Church

Rating:
Summary: Church Politics as Usual
Review: An easy reading for the average believer. I was hoping to find some apostolic missions strategy in it, but disappointingly, the book is about establishing 21st century church government which would be led by newly instituted offices of modern day apostles and prophets. Rather than discussing apostolic missionaries, the book primarily deals with church politics. Aside from naming himself as an example of a modern apostle, his book makes you think about his proposition that the new apostles and prophets are the double-edged sword of the 21st century church hierarchy.

Summary: Paradigm Shift in Church Leadership
Review: I highly recommend this book as a primer for the next move of God. The church is going thru a much needed paradigm shift as we enter the new millennium and Dr. Wagner is paving the way with this excellent book.

Summary: Solid Thoughts on this new Movement
Review: This is a wonderful resource for anyone interested understanding the role of Apostle and Prophet. These special offices of the church have been ignored, abused and mostly mis-understood. This is a great book to start a thorough biblical and contemporary study on the topic. C. Peter Wagner's understanding of scripture, expert opinion of Church Growth and personal experience are great resources on this vital topic. It should not be viewed as exhaustive but as the thoughts and understanding of one of the best thinkers in the evangelical church world today
