description: Networks are everywhere. From our roads to our relationships from our food supply to our power grids networks are an integral part of how we live. Similarly our churches denominations and even the kingdom of God are networks. Knowing how networks function and how to work with rather than against them has enormous implications for how we do ministry.In Thy Kingdom Connected  Dwight J. Friesen brings the complex theories of networking to church leaders in easy-to-understand practical ways. Rather than bemoaning the modern disintegration of things like authority and structure Friesen inspires hope for a more connective vision of life with God. He shows those involved in ministry how they can maximize already existing connections between people in order to spread the Gospel get people plugged in at their churches and grow together as disciples.
