A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This unique little book answers the issues we all have about church building projects. Naturally the cost is foremost in everyone s thinking. Julia Cameron helps people to put this in perspective. Drawing from the stories of five churches around the UK, Building for the Gospel engages with the real and valid questions arising in people s minds. For example Why invest in bricks and mortar when the church is really about people? Why can t we make do with what we ve got? and Shouldn t the money be spent on world mission instead? These questions, and others, are each handled respectfully. Both the visionary and the terrified will find themselves better equipped, and the doubtful will have their doubts addressed. Building for the Gospel is a gem of a book, easy to read and low-priced for everyone to have a copy. It aims to get the issues aired and talked about widely in a congregation, in a positive and hopeful spirit. So far as we know it is the only book to do this job. It is designed for churches of all denominations.

Revue de presse

I warmly commend this visionary and excellent book to help people think about the use of their buildings. It is essential reading for a church thinking about extending its buildings and using its resources to be a faithful and effective gospel church. --Wallace Benn, Bishop of Lewes

This book charts the way through the kind of project that would test the resources and the resilience of the toughest congregation. From chapter one, Julia Cameron shows how bricks and mortar can be used to serve the gospel. She doesn t gloss over the headaches or the heartbreaks, but remains insistently optimistic throughout. Some congregations would never contemplate a project like this; now they have an invaluable how to tool to build for the gospel. --Richard Underwood, FIEC General Secretary

Absolutely essential for anyone becoming involved in a church building or restoration project; a church is about something far more profound than bricks and mortar. --Joseph Kelly, Editor, Church Building magazine
