What Sam Andress from California has to say about The New Conspirators

The New Conspirators: Creating the Future One Mustard See at a Time, by Tom Sine and published by InterVarsity Press is a great read. It is an important read for those in the church and perhaps outside the church trying to get a grasp on not only the world we live in today, but the one which is being created now and into the future! Tom does an excellent job bringing together the four major streams of new activity in the church. Streams which will chart the course ahead for faithfulness to Jesus Christ. These four streams are: Monastic, Mosaic, Missional Church, and Emerging Church. The most defining reality found in each of these movements, Sine notes, is there move away from an inward or an attractional “come-to-us” approach. Instead it is noted that all these streams have recovered a robust Gospel understanding that recognizes the cosmic proportions of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection. This theological recovery/shift has seen droves of younger Christians shift from a individualistic boomer focus of personal achievement and advancement to discerning the missional activity of God in the world and then joining God in that activity to bring about healing and wholeness in the world, God’s world. Because of its thorough and wide ranging analysis, of the many wonderful books written on this subject, this is the one-stop book I recommend for church study groups and leaders.
