In The Present Future, McNeal identifies the six most important realities that church leaders must address including recapturing the spirit of Christianity and replacing \"church growth\" with a wider vision of kingdom growth; developing disciples instead of church members; fostering the rise of a new apostolic leadership; focusing on spiritual formation rather than church programs; and shifting from prediction and planning to preparation for the challenges of an uncertain world. McNeal contends that by changing the questions church leaders ask themselves about their congregations and their plans, they can frame the core issues and approach the future with new eyes, new purpose, and new ideas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions\u003c\/b\u003e 9.1 x 6.0 x 1.5 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cbutton class=\"button button1\"\u003e\u003ch3 style=\"color:white;\"\u003eNEW Book\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n  \u003cstyle\u003e\n.button1 {\n}\n.button1 {background-color: #04AA6D;} \/* Green *\/\n.button2 {background-color: #008CBA;} \/* Blue *\/\n.button3 {background-color: #f44336;} \/* Red *\/ \n\u003c\/style\u003e","brand":"CHRISTIAN STORE INDIA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47637925363874,"sku":"047045315X","price":1250.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/0599\/0306\/files\/61t1IFgieiL.jpg?v=1788973942","url":"https:\/\/www.christianstoreindia.com\/te\/products\/the-present-future-six-tough-questions-for-the-church-jossey-bass-leadership-network-series","provider":"CHRISTIAN STORE INDIA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
