Simple Church | Thom S. Rainer and Eric Geiger
Thom S. Rainer and Eric Geiger. Simple Church: Returning to God’s Process for Making Disciples. B&H, 2006. 272 pp.
The simple revolution has begun. From the design of the iPod to the uncluttered Google home page, simple ideas are changing the world.
Simple Church clearly calls for Christians to return to the simple gospel-sharing methods of Jesus. No bells or whistles required, so to speak.
Based on case studies of four hundred American churches, authors Thom Rainer and Eric Geiger prove that the process for making disciples has quite often become too complex. Simple churches are thriving, and they are doing so by taking these four ideas to heart: Clarity. Movement. Alignment. Focus.
Each idea is examined here, simply showing why it is time to simplify.

I have been dropping by your site from time to time and it has been a valid resource for me in the past. Interestingly enough, I stop by today and find myself! Thank you for compliling all of these resources together into one user-friendly site, this is a great service to the church and those who serve her.
