If you're a leader in a faith-based organization then you have heard The Great Excuse. It usually starts with "If only..." If only we had more money, more volunteers, better facilities, a bigger staff, etc...then we could be more effective and really do great things.
Well, get ready for The Great Surprise.
God is on the loose in the world today doing what God has always done – reconciling the whole creation and setting people free. And, just like always, God is working in and through people to do these things.
In The Future Starts Now we are invited to pay attention to what God is doing so that we can join in and be a part of it right here and right now. There are no excuses.
This book introduces a post-missional, post-modern approach to doing life, work, and ministry. It will help you and the organization you care about learn to be who you are and see what you have for the sake of doing what matters to God. The renewable principles it introduces reflect the most innovative work being done in the fields of social innovation, organizational theory, and design. But they have emerged, above all, from the Biblical story.
Written by Kelly Fryer and the whole team at A Renewal Enterprise, this book is a must read for leaders of faith-based organizations looking for a new, renewable way of doing life together.
