Transitioning the Church Leading the Established Church to Reach the Unchurched Zach Williams 9780615920047 Books Reviews
I Loved this Pastors honesty ! Thank you! Encouraging ! A definite read for any Pastor facing the need to transition!
This book contains a great idea, but both book and idea could stand a little longer in the oven.
The author admits that what he writes is based on 11 years in 4 churches and that the real success, on which this book is based, is in the fourth church. He also admits that the real "transitioning" in that fourth church began before he became the pastor. (In fact, it may have begun before his predecessor became the pastor.) Frankly, this seems to be scant experience from which to write a book, describing a process that the author admits is quite painful. Actually, at times, it feels like he's describing a war zone, which leaves the reader wondering what happened to those previous two pastors!
But this is unclear, as is much else in the book. Unfortunately, the book sometimes suffers from things like typographical errors, poor sentence structure, and lack of paragraph cohesion. At times, I wasn't sure if I was reading a research paper, blog post, or transcribed sermon. These weaknesses made for some difficult reading, as did the lack of specificity when the author was giving advice. I suspect that the author wisely avoided giving specifics because he is describing a current, or at least very recent, situation. Which makes the book seem far more like a memoir than a "How To..."
Summary of the book Jesus loves the lost, and your church should too. You'll need to rely on the Spirit to lead them there, and you'll make a LOT of enemies along the way. But it will be worth it.
See? Great idea. Just poorly written. I wouldn't mind reading a book about the same thing by the same author when he has been in the same place for 10 years and written about 100 pages more. With a good editor, of course.
Great heart for the mission of Jesus. Practical and applicable. Incredibly easy to read. I am in my first pastorate revitalizing/transitioning a congregation. Very useful and true.
The book is pretty helpful and encouraging for me as a Youth Pastor in a well established church. It is filled with encouraging reminders about the purpose of ministry and the need to remain faithful to one's calling as a shepherd; however, while the content of this book is worth reading, it not an easy read at all. As mentioned in an earlier review, this book is equally filled with typos and distracting format errors. Had this book gone through an Editor or a second round of proofreading, it would have merited a higher rating.
Williams is passionate about leading his church to reach the unchurched people in the community. He has very practical advice for pastors and churches to utilize in transitioning into a church that reaches unchurched people.
As a staff member at an established church, I get this! I love what Zach has to say, and how transparent he is. I long for our church to be for the unchurched again. Problem is...we think we are. Most indicators say otherwise, however. Our leaders just don't see it. Hoping I can share insights from this book with those above me.
As a graphics/communications person, though, the many proofreading errors were difficult to see past. Very surprised this got published in such a state. I get that mistakes will always go through, but I'm a bit embarrassed for the team that missed so many in this publication. Sorry!
Zach Williams' "Transitioning the Church" made for a great Sunday afternoon read. Thanks to Thom Rainer for tweeting out the link for it this morning! I'm currently serving as the Transitional Pastor (combining congregational coaching and interim pastor roles) for a small, declining, established congregation and this book just jumped to the top of my recommended reading list for the congregation's lay leadership. The congregation is in a town that has undergone dramatic transition in the past six years or so - changing from a paper mill town to a bedroom/commuter community in the Pacific Northwest. The shift in the community's dynamics has yet to be realistically addressed by the congregation, but we are beginning this process. Williams' book will help us to have some needed conversations about vision, mission, and purpose.
In a time where many godly, gifted leaders are planting wonderful churches that are making an incredible impact for the Kingdom, Williams paves a different path. The realization that a church should always be transitioning in order to keep its eyes and affections on the person of Jesus is evident in each chapter. If you pastor an established church, read this, and read it often.
