The Sky Is Falling: Leaders Lost in Transition
Leadership always functions in a given situation or context. How do we lead today in our current cultural situation? Finally... here is the conceptual framework every leader needs to navigate  stuck-ness  between a past to which we cannot return and a future yet to emerge. --Todd Hunter, President, Alpha USA Former President, Vineyard Churches USAIf you re looking for a model of risky practices for your emergent church ... if you want the most effective strategies for reviving a traditional church ... if you seek dependable and reassuring methods ... forget Roxburgh. But if you believe, as I do, that churches today have encountered profound cultural shifts, that leaders need conversations across tribal boundaries, and that we need our imaginations to be immersed in biblical narratives, then this book is what we need to deepen and guide our discourse. --Rev. Mark Lau Branson, Ed.D., Homer L. Goddard Associate Professor Ministry of the Laity, Fuller Theological SeminaryThe church in North America is in a crisis precipitated by a revolution in culture. Alan Roxburgh provides a realistic analysis of this crisis and warns us not to look for easy answers or quick solutions the time of transition will be with us longer than we like. So he does not provide the latest  how-to  manual for successful church leadership we have enough of those already! But neither does he get stuck in  analysis paralysis.  Instead he suggests a way that we might work together long-term to develop a more faithful engagement of the church with the mission of God. The Sky Is Falling should stimulate important conversations and provoke (I hope) some courageous experiments. --David G. Dunbar, President, Biblical Theological Seminary
