Mead created an instant sensation in congregational circles with its prophetic insights into the life of the church in a post-Christendom era. Still often-quoted and in demand  the book stands as Albans all-time best seller. Two subsequent titles  Transforming Congregations for the Future and Five Challenges for the Once and Future Church  extended Meads original vision with similar success. To celebrate the tenth anniversary of the publication of The Once and Future Church  Alban released all three of these books as a single  special edition hardcover. In addition to these classic texts in beautiful  newly designed formats  this collection features an interview with Loren Mead discussing how his views have changed since the books first publications and his current thoughts on directions for the church in the twenty-first century. This hardcover volume is the perfect gift for graduating seminary students  new congregational leaders  or for pastors whose original editions of these three books may be dog-eared or missing--and a wonderful addition to every church library. All who love the church and pray for the future of our congregations will value this opportunity to have Loren Meads seminal works in a single  long-lived edition.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44966261784629,"sku":"ByrdShop_1566992486","price":61.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781566992480.jpg?v=1770558892","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-once-and-future-church-collection-once-and-future-church-series","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
