Organic Leadership: Leading Naturally Right Where You Are
 by Neil Cole
Neil Cole is one of the founders of today's organic church movement, which has given rise to thousands of churches around the world. Here he builds on his previous work, Organic Church, offering insight on church leadership today.
Missional Renaissance: Changing the Scorecard for the Church by Reggie McNeal
Reggie McNeal's bestseller The Present Future is the definitive work on the "missional movement," i.e., the widespread movement among Protestant churches to be less inwardly focused and more oriented toward the culture and community around them. In that book he asked the tough questions that churches needed to entertain to begin to think about who they are and what they are doing.
The Camel-How Muslims are Coming to Christ
 by Kevin Greeson
For too long the Christian response to Islam has been fear, fight or flight. Kevin Greeson turns this response upside down, showing how to win Muslims to saving faith in Jesus Christ. Greeson's The Camel, How Muslims Are Coming to Faith in Christ! treats Muslims with respect while challenging them to confront their own sacred writings as a bridge to the Good News revealed in the Bible.

5 Things to do Until an Organic Church Comes to Your Town
by Jeff Jenkins
Let me take a quick poll. Does this describe you? (One point for each Yes answer).
1. Have you ordered/read 6 or more of the books on the CMA website? Y or N
2. Are you often the first to leave a comment on blog posts by people promoting simple church?
Y or N
3. Do you check in regularly to the House2House "Find a Church" page? Y or N
4. Were you the first one on your block to get a copy of the new Frank Viola book? Y or N
5. Do you have a poster of Wolfgang Simson on your bedroom wall? Y or N
(Three points for a yes on this question)
6. Now the money question: Every Sunday (or Saturday or Wednesday)
do you walk out of that same old wood, stone or prefab metal building
and sigh to yourself and say, "Yeah it was nice, but God there has to
be more than this?! Why can't my town have that real and powerful
Christian community that I only seem to read about?" Y or N
How did you score? Did you get a few points? Are you waiting for an organic church to come to your town?
I know you're out there because I was there too-in some ways I still am...
