 Why coudn't the book be simpler and less redundant August 22, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I think the book has several good ideas.
But why did they write it in such a cluttered and redundant way? THe book is way longer than it needs to be. I think they should have followed their own advice. Way too much emphasis on the statistics and way too many charts that look all to much the same. What is the statistical variation from chart to chart? Not much. I think it backs to what Jesus said: There are two great commandents for the individual and one or two great commendments to the church:
1) Love God
2a) Love one another (your community of faith)
2b) Love your neighbor (those outside your community of faith)
For the church: The great commission: Go! - Making disciples and baptizing.
 A Must Read for All Church Members August 18, 2008
This book is a must read for all church members, not just leaders. Churches are trying to be everything to everybody. Thus, they are becoming less effective in reaching new people and in helping believers develop in spiritual maturity. Simple, but effective.
Thought provoking August 10, 2008

Simple church causes one to stop, think and pray. Good for all of us to do.
 Not a Bad Book - Just Nothing New August 8, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The content of this book is "fine", but not overly impressive. The title "Simple Church", also describes the content, but only too well. The information is just that, too simple. Almost everything that is said in this book can be found in other books that are much better.
I would suggest reading 7 Practices of Effective Ministry and Next Generation Leader by Andy Stanley. These are much better reads and much more practical for church ministry.
Simple Church August 2, 2008
The Simple Church gives a good design to implement a simple process in any church that moves people toward spiritual transformation. The book outlines a "clear how" to establish a process to move believers toward spiritual maturity, excellence in our worship of Jesus and the elimination of mediocrity in our worship, love and service to God and others.
