Title: Church Unique: How Missional Leaders Cast Vision, Capture Culture, , and Create Movement By: Will Mancini Format: Hardcover Number of Pages: 271 Vendor: Jossey-Bass, Inc Publication Date: 2008 | Dimensions: 9.00 X 6.00 (inches) Weight: 1 pound 2 ounces ISBN: 0787996831 ISBN-13: 9780787996833 Series: Jossey-Bass Leadership Network|Leadership Network Stock No: WW96831 |
Mancini (founder, Auxano consulting group) believes that all churches need not be megachurches like Willowcreek (IL) or Saddleback (CA). Here, he avoids a mere discussion of churches worthy of emulation and further crosses denominational lines, having himself worked alongside Baptists, Methodists, Lutherans, and others. Mancini eschews the title consultant , preferring instead vision navigator . In short, he helps leaders focus on their own unique cultures and congregational fingerprints. Once churches grasp that they are one of a kind-much like galaxies, fossils, DNA, and sandbanks-they can then, Mancini writes, unleash their full potential. The book, complete with an appendix as well as logos and icons illustrating various churches' visionary thinking, is strengthened by numerous flow charts, diagrams, graphics, and pithy quotes. It has the potential to unseat Rick Warren's The Purpose-Driven Church in popularity. Yet academic libraries may want to pass on this title for its admitted lack of supporting empirical evidence. Public libraries, on the other hand, would be wise to purchase a copy. With a foreword by inspirational giant Max Lucado.
