Product Description
Written for those who are trying to nurture authentic faith communities and for those who have struggled to retain their faith, The Tangible Kingdom offers theological answers and real-life stories that demonstrate how the best ancient church practices can re-emerge in today's culture, through any church of any size. In this remarkable book, Hugh Halter and Matt Smay "two missional leaders and church planters" outline an innovative model for creating thriving grass-roots faith communities.

 Tangible Kingdom my book of the year January 6, 2009
Tangible Kingdom has changed the way I view church and mission. It's the kind of book that leaves you thinking "wow, this all feels so right". Hugh Halter has helped to re-kindle my hope for what a faith community could look like with the emphasis back on loving people not programmes. My wife & I read it together with our bookclub buddies over 10 weeks and pulled it apart two chapters at a time. Each chapter finishes with one or two reflective questions or insights which are helpful to unpack the content. The author writes in a casual, humourous manner with lots of personal experiences and practical examples. This is our 'Best Book of 2008'. It's so good, I just bought two more copies to give away.
the way church should be September 18, 2008
The Tangible Kingdom: Creating Incarnational Community (J-B Leadership Network Series) This is the church of the future. My Son actually attends this church in Denver and can't stop telling us how much he likes the way they do church. It's a great read the author is funny and entertaining, at the same time he teaches you how to reach out to non christins in a non threatening way and show them what Christ is like, much in the same way they did in the book of Acts.I highly recomend it. I bought a copy for my pastor. Brian Wiest
The Tangible Kingdom August 26, 2008
I found this book's content to be very challenging, going well beyond lifestyle evangelism. It has made me rethink my strategy for reaching those in and outside my circle who don't have faith in Christ.
 Missional Living 101 August 22, 2008
Tangible Kingdom makes me aware, that business as usual in the church, has resulted in the decrease in effectiveness, and the overall decline of the church, we have seen over the years. TK presents incarnational ministry and living 'missionally', as Christ-like qualities we all aspire to, yet seem to fall short of, as we become trapped in our Christian Worlds.
I'll paraphrase my favorite quote in the whole book....If you want to love starving African children...you must go to Africa and spend time with them, if you want to love mentally handicapped people....you must spend time with or around those with mental deficiencies...and if we are going to love our neighbors (as ourselves) we must re-engage them, spend time with them, enjoy life with them.
We have presented this to key leaders in our church, as a starting point to missional living.
Incredible insight! August 14, 2008
This book is spot on to the realities faced by churches attempting ot be relevant in a post-modern culture!
If your are a lay or vocational leader of a church and the sweet taste of "church" has turned to limonade without sugar for you, then explore this book.
