The New Conspirators: Creating the Future One Mustard Seed at a Time - Softcover

Through the years, Tom Sines writing has repeatedly knocked me out of my comfort zone. He continually inspires me with hope and encouragement. His new book is rich with challenge and inspiration, and its full of signs that good things are afoot in the church and for the good of the world. --Brian D. McLaren, author/activist (brianmclaren.net)

A fabulous book! A bold challenge to all who think the kingdom of God can be built from the starting point of compromise and comfort. --Jonny Baker, Mission leadership and communities team leader with the Church Mission Society

Wise and wide-ranging, thoughtful and thorough, provocative and probing, practical and hopeful, Tom Sines book ranks among the very best of the growing body of literature exploring the very real question; Does the future have a church? --Dwight J. Friesen, Assistant Professor of Practical Theology, Mars Hill Graduate School, Seattle, USA

A visionary Christian leader explores four exciting streams within the cutting-edge of the church. He calls us to join these "new conspirators" in discovering creative ways in which God might use our mustard seeds to be a part of what he is doing. God is doing something fresh through a new generation of "conspirators". This new work can be seen in at least four different streams: 1. the emerging, 2. the missional, 3. the mosaic (multicultural church plants) 4. the monastic. In this book Tom Sine present some of the innovative new models that are being created by those ministering within these diverse streams. He also explores the important questions they are raising for all of us regarding what it means to be a disciple, be the church and do the mission of the church. The book then investigates new challenges facing both our larger global society and the church as we journey together into an increasingly uncertain future.
