Title: Try dynamic orthodoxy instead
Review: If horizontally-focused statements like the following appeal to you ..."The Bible is important and needs to be engaged at every possible level, but there needs to be more living in community and struggling with community."... then this is your kind of book. If not, you're likely to perceive it as chock-full of jargon and therapy-speak.The time-tested method for building a successful parish is what some have called "dynamic orthodoxy": (1) faithfulness to authentic Christian doctrine, (2) reverent liturgical practices, and (3) enthusiasm for Christ and His Church. So save your money; dynamic orthodoxy is an approach available to everyone -- free.
