BOOKS OF NOTE

Fuller Seminary faculty share their reading recommendations. Kurt Frederickson, director and theological mentor of the Doctor of Ministry program, suggests the following....

Lois Y. Barrett et al.,
Treasures in Clay Jars: Patterns of Missional Faithfulness (Eerdmans, '04).
This book, building on Missional Church: A Vision for the Sending of the Church in North America (Guder et al.), explores eight practices of missional churches. This important book helps one understand what a missional church looks like.

Michael Frost and Alan Hersch,
The Shaping of Things to Come: Innovation and Mission for the 21st-Century Church (Hendrickson, 2003).
From an Australian view--to become increasingly important for North Americans--these authors provide theological, cultural, and structural perspectives for innovative missional engagement in the West.
