This is a major study of changing church patterns in the West. In many parts of Europe and North America, the decline of the major traditional denominations continues unabated. But it seems that people these days are not less religious: rather their religious beliefs are rooted in personal experience rather than in community identity and loyalty to historic institutions. For the first time, religion is being chosen rather than received and this change has contributed to the growth in frontier fellowships, commonly known as the 'emerging church'. This book is intended to offer a multinational, Spirit-inspired testimony to the insights of these 'new, fragile, vulnerable' groups and churches. Filled with the latest research on what's happening on both sides of the Atlantic, it also features fascinating interview testimonies from forty-nine emerging church leaders on the cutting edge of ministry, including: Jonny Baker (Grace, London), Phil Bail (New Generation Ministries, Bristol), Kester Brewin (Vaux, London), Mal Caliadine (Tribal Generation, Sheffield), Steve Collins (Grace, London), Simon Hall (Revive, Leeds), Paul Roberts (Third Sunday Service, Resonance, Bristol), Pete Rollins (Ikon, Belfast), Dan Slatter (Warehouse, Chichester), Andy Thornton (Late, Late Service, Host and Vaux, London), Dave Tomlinson (Holy Joes, London), Sue Wallace (Visions, York).

I appreciated the work Gibbs & Bolger put into this work.
I read this book first as I was trying to get an overview of what the Emerging Church is and how it thinks. If that is what your looking for I recommend this book.
Well written, well founded in what they say. The interviews (ca 100 pages) in the back are also a very nice addition.
I'm not enthusiastic about the Emerging Church but this book, which is sympathetic to the movement, is good to get an overview.
