Power Surge: Six Marks of Discipleship for a Changing Church by Michael W. Foss

Read for diakonia. Written to a pastor's level and very US centric. The author argues that the model of the protestant church needs to change, so it can survive in the 21st century

Sorry - nothing too earthshattering or new in my opinion

Power surge : six marks of discipleship for a changing church by Michael W. Foss

Some good points about migrating a membership-driven church to a discipleship-driven church. Read as part of the curriculum for my ABIDE team. Now to put into practice what was preached ... always the hardest part.

Real Faith for Real Life: Living the Six Marks of Discipleship by Michael W. Foss

Here's what I wrote in 2015 about this read: "Six chapters re living faith; builds on the "Unbiding Your Heart" and used as lenten group read."
