Center Church: Doing Balanced, Gospel-Centered Ministry in Your City
ByPublisher Description
Many pastors struggle to translate their theological beliefs into fruitful ministry in the places they are called to reach. It's not enough to simply know what to believe (theology) or, on the other hand, how to do ministry (methodology)—they need something in between. They need help thinking about ministry in a culture that no longer believes Christianity is a force for good, let alone the source of ultimate revealed truth in the person of Christ. Center ChurchCenter Church, a collection of twelve essays by Timothy Keller, outlines a theological vision for ministry that is organized around three core commitments:
*Gospel-centered: The gospel of grace in Jesus Christ changes everything, from our hearts to our community to the world. It completely reshapes the content, tone and strategy of all that we do.
*City-centered: With a positive approach toward our culture, we learn to affirm that cities are wonderful, strategic and underserved places for gospel ministry.
*Movement-centered: Instead of building our own tribe, we seek the prosperity and peace of our community as we are led by the Holy Spirit.

4.5
“Church planters, church leaders, anyone in ministry should read this book. I can not recommend it enough. Keller has a perspective that challenged me to be a better minister of the gospel in my context.”
“(Vou começar a colocar os livros de teologia / religião que leio!)
Li este livro o ano passado. Sinceramente, foi um dos livros que mais gostei de ler! Inclusive, vou relendo partes de vez em quando. É muito bom! É um “abre-olhos” para a realidade eclesiástica atual e qual deveria ser o centro e propósito das igrejas. Recomendo!”
