Who Stole My Church?

This book reads like a novel but is based on Gordon McDonald’s own experience of seeing a church through a process of change. When one member of the church asked the question, “Who stole my church?”, he was prompted to bring together a group of people who felt uneasy about the changes that were being introduced. The book is a record of the discussions, thoughts and feelings they shared together.
This book will leave the reader at times engulfed in laughter, at times deeply moved, and probably, with a whole different view about the kind of change that God is really looking for in his church.

Change can be a frightening thing and if we are going to be able to move forward, careful thought and guidance is needed.
The author of The Challenge of Change offers a map for healthy change in the local church. Writing as a pastor and practitioner, Phil Potter explains ways of shaping change of any kind in the life of a church and presents a guide to understanding the changing shape of church, including the ‘fresh expressions’ of church now emerging. He uses his experiences of leading his own church through five major transition periods, with his own mistakes and personal stories as examples to illustrate his points.
