Reviews

""As a documentary filmmaker and a writer, much of my work has focused on spiritual places and practices around the world. As much passion as I have for the journey, I've never been drawn to participate in any organized, institutional religion. But Toby Jones' vision for a new kind of spiritual community based on generosity, compassion, inclusion, and social action is among the most compelling expressions of Christian faith I've come across."" --Chip Duncan author of Enough To Go Around: Searching for Hope in Afghanistan, Pakistan, & Darfur ""The Way of Jesus offers important principles and practical advice for lay Christians to develop and lead alternative communities of faith. Post-church communities will increasingly require lay leaders who are prepared for rigorous discipleship, missional ecclesiology, and ministry from the margins. But this book is not just for laity. Clergy have much to gain from the wisdom in these pages, as Toby Jones makes a compelling case for establishing small, missional communities with bi-vocational pastoral leadership."" --Elaine A. Heath author of The Mystic Way of Evangelism ""In forty years of ministry, I have experienced the painful gap between the institution called church and the life to which Jesus calls us. I thank God for an explorer like Toby Jones who probes the gap and dares the church to close it. If you hunger and thirst for authenticity in your faith and your church, dig in to this gold mine filled with hope for a new day! Be warned: Jesus will meet you here!"" --Tom Eggebeen, Covenant Presbyterian Church, Los Angeles
