Australians Frost and Hirsch present an innovative vision of how the church can be more
relevant and responsive to the spiritual hunger seen in the Western world.
It is especially helpful to have an Australian perspective on the twenty-first
century missional church as these two authors are engaged in church planting in one of the
most secularized societies in the Western world. Their contribution brings an in-depth
theological reflection as well as providing a broad scope informed by their extensive
reading in theology, culture and mission as well as their on-site visits to missional
churches in the USA and the United Kingdom. Furthermore, [the authors] are not
armchair-theorists but are engaged in innovative and risk-taking ventures in church
planting and the mentoring of leaders to extend this strategic ministry. Their
contribution to the literature is as substantial as it is engaging.
