Gospel Shaped Church is a curriculum from The Gospel Coalition that will help whole congregations pause and think carefully and prayerfully about the kind of church they are called to be. This seven-week track explores what it means to be a community engaging with the world with compassion and justice. The Leader's Guide contains everything you need to to lead this innovative and flexible curriculum. This flexible resource will train your whole church through teaching, preaching, daily reading and small-group Bible study and discussion--or any combination of those elements. The overall aim is that your church will embark on a journey to discover the kind of people they should be as they are shaped by the gospel of Jesus Christ. Works alongside the Gospel Shaped Mercy DVD and the Gospel Shaped Mercy Handbook for use by church members. Gospel Shaped Mercy meets that often neglected, sometimes even maligned, aspect of ministry within contemporary evangelicalism. The material is of the highest quality, both in terms of content as well as presentation. Probably the most helpful aspect though, is how integrated the course is; including DVD teaching, material for personal devotions, group Bible study, individual journaling as well as outlines for an accompanying sermon series. If you are looking for a course to help you and your church discern what the LORD might be calling you to do then look no further, here it is! -- Mark Powell (Cornerstone Presbyterian Church, Strathfield, Australia) Stephen Um (PhD, University of StSt. Andrews) is the Executive Director and a member of Christ Church Charlestown, MA, and the author of Micah For You and Why Cities Matter .
