The Forgotten Ways
I had a chance to hear Alan Hirsch and ask him a few questions at a dinner at the NNCC. On the plane ride back (with layovers) I'm reading through his book, The Forgotten Ways. If you blog, I'm sure you have seen a lot of conversation about it. I recommend you pick up a copy of the book, it is a very important voice in the conversation of the Western church.

THanks Henry for gathering the list & the compliment. Appreciate your servant heart at the conference.
Yes, there is MUCH to like about this book. As you mention it has much to say to the western church. I hope many will read it and seriously engage with others what Hirsch is saying. We have 40+ reading it in a couple of network groups that are meeting once a month to work through the book chapter by chapter. Additionally I know of several who are reading it and discussing it via blogs/email. Again I just hope people will engage with what is being said. Glad you have mentioned it here.
I just got the book a few weeks ago as well. Definitely an interesting read. Look forward to the discussion. Let me know if there’s a discussion in San Diego around this. I know Geoff Hsu has read through it and has been impacted…
