Churches have tried all kinds of ways to attract new and younger members - revised vision statements, hipper worship, contemporary music, livelier sermons, bigger and better auditoriums. But there are still so many people who aren't being reached, who don't want to come to church. And the truth is that attendance at church on Sundays does not necessarily transform lives; God's presence in our hearts is what changes us. Leaders and laypeople everywhere are realizing that they need new and more powerful ways to help them spread God's Word. According to international church starter and pastor Neil Cole, if we want to connect with young people and those who are not coming to church, we must go where people congregate. Cole shows readers how to plant the seeds of the Kingdom of God in the places where life happens and where culture is formed - restaurants, bars, coffeehouses, parks, locker rooms, and neighborhoods. Organic Church offers a hands-on guide for demystifying this new model of church and shows the practical aspects of implementing it.

      For all his admonitions for more scripture reading and prayer, Neil Cole seems to have a skewed idea of what the Christian Church is (or should be). While Cole advises a healthy departure from the "Purpose-Driven" church model, this advice is paired with a dangerous emphasis on nontraditional church gatherings that misapplies a biblical understanding of church. And while books like Cole's are usually targeted at a younger crowd, Marc Cashman reads with all the weight of his many years of professional narration, striking a grandfatherly tone that doesn't work well for a book of this type. A narrator of Cashman's caliber can usually make short work of a difficulty like this, but this mismatch is glaring. S.M.M. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
