<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A leading voice in the missional church recasts the missional movement from a church add-on to a whole new way of following Jesus.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>It has recently become acceptable, and even fashionable, to refer to one's church as "missional." But many churches misunderstand the concept, thinking of "going missional" as simply being a necessary add-on to church-as-usual. This domestication of what is actually a very bold paradigm shift makes missional nothing more than one more trick to see church growth.<br/><br/>With a light hand and a pastoral spirit, Michael Frost points out how church practitioners are not quite there yet. He reestablishes the ground rules, redefines the terms accurately, and insists that the true prophetic essence of "being missional" comes through undiluted. This clear corrective will take ministry leaders from "not missional yet" to well on their way.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br><b>Discover a whole new way of following Jesus<br/></b><br/>It has recently become acceptable, and even fashionable, to refer to one's church as "missional."

I'm thankful to have Frost's provocative voice in the missional conversation."--Ed Stetzer, coauthor of <i>Compelled by Love<br/></i><br/>"It's all here--divine origins, shifting evangelism, cross, resurrection, and holistic redemption--in accessible form. This is the first book to give someone who says 'What is missional?'"--Scot McKnight, Karl A. Olsson Professor in Religious Studies, North Park University; author of <i>One.Life<br/></i><br/>"The Road to Missional practically helps everyone understand their place in God's mission, the pace to which God will ask them to move, and the possibilities of a life oriented away from self. This book is a must for church leaders but is dense with beautiful stories that will give every unpaid saint reasons to live a vigorous life after the King."--Hugh Halter, author of <i>Sacrilege</i> and coauthor of <i>The Tangible Kingdom</i> <br/><br/><br/><b>Michael Frost</b> is vice principal of Morling College and the founding director of the Tinsley Institute, a mission study center at Morling College in Sydney, Australia.
