Eddie Gibbs

I am reading Church Next by Eddie Gibbs. I haven't finished reading it yet, but I have been incouraged and excited by this book. As I move into ministry at my new church in Chicagoland, I have been trying to chart my path and my direction. Gibbs has been an incredable blessing by helping to describe a workable path for the church in North America. Like most people I am very good at seeing what is going wrong and what needs to change. But like most people, I have few workable ideas for change. Church Next is a clarion call of hope and change that has invigerated my vision for ministry.
