Book Review: Doing Church as a Team, by Wayne Cordeiro
Review by Greg Gilbert | 10.05.2001Cordeiro’s emphasis on every-member ministry has led him to neglect and somewhat relegate the importance of the preaching of the Word.
Book Review: Led By the Spirit, by Jim Elliff

Book Review: The Connecting Church, by Randy Frazee
Review by Greg Gilbert | 08.05.2001I am happy to see that Frazee has identified a problem that exists in a large part of the Christian church today. My only contention is with the solution that Frazee proposes.

Book Review: Churchquake, by C. Peter Wagner
Review by Greg Gilbert | 03.30.2001All in all, I was disappointed with Wagner’s book. There are no ideas here that you cannot find in other, better books.

Book Review: Your Best Life Now, by Joel Osteen
Review by Greg Gilbert | 9Marks Journal: The Church's Mission | 03.08.2001If Joel Osteen wants to be the Norman Vincent Peale of the twenty-first century, he has every right to give it a shot. But he should stop marketing his message as Christianity, because it is not.
