THE TRELLIS AND THE VINE
The ministry mind-shift that changes everything
By Colin Marshall and Tony Payne. Matthias Media (available from http://thegoodbook.co.uk). 196 pages. £10.00
ISBN 978-1-92144-158-5

This book is encouraging, challenging, and provocative. The authors use the apt parable of a vine growing upon a garden trellis in order to challenge our preconceived ideas concerning much of modern-day church life.

Too often as churches we concentrate upon trellis work — committees, structures, programmes, activities, events — and not upon vine work — making disciples who in turn make other disciples.
