Rough read, Great workbook

The most important thing to know is don't give up, the second half of the book is better than the first half!

Please let me write the few negatives first, the book overall is an excellent value. I try to always give 4 stars, but this was a bit choppy to read. Also, the statement on page 17, where God asks "How many people did you bring with you?" probably isn't scripturally correct.

That said, it is a useful book if you go through the exercises and it is a great pointer for further information available from New Hope.

Also Wayne Cordeiro's approach to leadership has clearly been forged through real world experience. It is funny how similar the books are from the great leaders that have truly been there, done that. And yet, each time you read the importance of vision, mission, goals with metrics to ensure you are on target, the way each author spins it adds another nugget or six.

I particularly enjoyed the discussion of why a leader must fashion his own trumpet based on Numbers 10:3-5. It is so true we much each develop our own style.

Another great bit of wisdom is the section beginning on page 203, "To Change Things, Tell Them What Will Not Change". It is one of the better treatments of change management I have ever encountered.

Another church based leadership book that would go hand in glove with this is Finzel's Top Ten Mistakes Leaders Make. I think of that as the "ouch" book, as in "Ouch! Doctor, it hurts every time I do this".

Principles that work by someone who is living them out!

Pastor Wayne Cordeiro and New Hope Christian Fellowship are living proof that Doing Church as a Team really works. This simple but profound truth has changed the way we are doing church. It is not another book about church growth, or just another book you will read and let sit on the shelf. It is an excellent tool to move your church into teams. Our staff, and church leadership read the book and began to implement it right away. You will enjoy the stories but better yet you will enjoy the principles you can use. I recommend this book.

Chruch Team

I was slightly disappointed in this book. While it is solid from a spiritual basis, it is weak on the nuts and bolts, which is where many of us are seeking help.

Doing Church as a Team

Pastor Wayne captures the essence of Ephesians Chapter Four and the heart of effective ministry that is "gift based" and driven by volunteers rather than paid professionals. The key to the book is that God has placed gifts, dreams and abilities in each person and they must be seen as valuable. Release those dreams and passions and with very little motivation these people will serve and become a mobilized force living out their God given passion. This book has helped our local church to become far more successful and have a greater impact on our community. We have grown in numbers and in volunteers here in our California church.
I highly recommend it to you. The leaders New Hope (Wayne's church) is raising up and deploying is amazing.

Your church may have many members, but does every member have a purpose? In' Doing Church as a Team', Pastor Wayne Cordeiro underscores that church numbers are insignificant when every individual is not involved. However, if the team members work together as one toward a single, clearly defined goal, anything is possible and everyone shares in the joys and rewards of success! Pastor Wayne Cordeiro shows you how to identify the hidden callings of the members in your church so that together you can accomplish anything God has called you to do.
