book review

I just finished reading The Monkey and the Fish by Dave Gibbons. He talks about "liquid leadership for a third-culture church". Basically, Gibbons talks about the huge shifts taking place in our world. This global village we live in that is now becoming extremely multi-cultural, multi-ethnic. The technology that is linking people together, the collaboration that is happening among international companies and communities, the rise in a generation that has social advocacy on the front burner. Gibbons challenges the Church to take these great opportunities to join this shift with the love and creativity and servanthood of Jesus. He challenges the Western Church to examine some of her paradigms and consider some questions that might make for some new thought, some new ways of being and doing as a follower of Jesus.

Definitely worth the read!
