Kelly Neill says:
With "Organic Church," Frank Viola has authored a work that reaches beyond the bounds of institutional or denominational thinking in defining what a church can be. Drawing upon Viola's experience in planting and participating in missional, home and organic churches, this audio book is filled with spiritually-inspired practical advice advice for establishing, nurturing, and maintaining a vital God-ordained church; one that is free of static ritual and hierarchy and full of love and genuine community in Christ.
Beautifully read by Lloyd James, "Organic Church" is not only a detailed, hands-on instructional guide. Its theme affords those called beyond the often passive spectatorship of institutionalized churches (leading some to assume a condition Viola refers to as the "pew potato") the opportunity to actively make a difference in their own lives and the lives of others through church planting.
In consideration of Viola's statement in the book that approximately one million people are leaving institutional churches annually in the US, this audio book is well-timed in offering solutions to Christianity's church crisis and, perhaps, even planting the seeds for a second reformation.
