MAKING THE CHURCH WORK
Hammett, Edward H.
Smyth & Helwys, 1997
113 pages

Hammett reflects on two struggles on the organized church: the lack of real conversion (or depth of spiritual formation) and the misfocus on institutional survival. He believes churches can educate and empower true disciples and shape their ministries to the world’s need in the workplace and community. This small, future-oriented book is uniquely designed as short reflections and questions for discussion, ideal for use as an evaluative tool in a church visioning process or in the context of a church retreat. Hammett’s prescription for the twenty-first-century church is further elaborated in his sequel, The Gathered and Scattered Church.
