The Permanent Revolution

The Permanent Revolution:
Apostolic Imagination and Practice for the 21st Century Church
By Alan Hirsch and Tim Catchim (Jossey-Bass)
A 2013 Outreach Resource of the Year

“In The Permanent Revolution, Alan Hirsch and Tim Catchim provide a thoughtful approach to apostolic and entrepreneurial leadership. They use a thorough interdisciplinary approach to explore church leadership in light of Ephesians 4. This work is important because it provides a framework and language for roles in the church that are often marginalized. This book will help everyone more thoroughly understand how to value entrepreneurial ministry within the church.” —Todd Engstrom, from the March/April 2013 issue of Outreach magazine
