A must read for every Christian. Simple church is here to stay. The legacy church is losing members while the rest of the world is growing in Christ. How do we reach the lost? Simple church makes simple sense. Acts 2:46 tells us that we meet in the home and go where the people are. The authors do a great job in explaining how simple church came to be and where it is heading. They do not hide the truth and the problems simple churches face. it is about giving God's church back to His people. Amen.
