This is the story of the birth and growth of Seattleās innovative Mars Hill Church, one of Americaās fastest growing churches located in one of Americaās toughest mission fields. Itās also the story of the growth of a pastor, the mistakes heās made along the way, and Godās grace and work in spite of those mistakes. Mark Driscollās emerging, missional church took a rocky road from its start in a hot, upstairs youth room with gold shag carpet to its current weekly attendance of thousands. With engaging humor, humility, and candor, Driscoll shares the failures, frustrations, and just plain messiness of trying to build a church that is faithful to the gospel of Christ in a highly post-Christian culture. In the telling, heās not afraid to skewer some sacred cows of traditional, contemporary, and emerging churches. Each chapter discusses not only the hard lessons learned but also the principles and practices that worked and that can inform your churchās ministry, no matter its present size. The book includes discussion questions and appendix resources. āAfter reading a book like this, you can never go back to being an inwardly focused church without a mission. Even if you disagree with Mark about some of the things he says, you cannot help but be convicted to the inner core about what it means to have a heart for those who donāt know Jesus.āāDan Kimball, author,The Emerging Church āā¦ will make you laugh, cry, and get mad ā¦ school you, shape you, and mold you into the right kind of priorities to lead the church in todayās messy world.āāRobert Webber, Northern Seminary
