Me to We: A Pastor's Discovery of the Power of Partnership ReviewThe book Me to We by Alan Nelson has a great title, but little new content. The entire book could fill two or three chapters, max. I will summarize the book's salient points a little later so you will not waste $20 as I did. Actually a better idea is to go to Rev.org and you can find all the stuff there. The book is full of clichés and as one reviewer said "the conversational style of the book comes across as contrived in parts and does get tiresome" is all too true. I became skeptical as I looked up the other reviewers for this book. The first two reviewers who both gave the book 5 stars, I would suspect are plants of Group Publishing. My cynicism evidenced by the fact that most of the reviews that these two gave other books are 4 and 5 stars and all from Group. They must be professional Group reviewers.
One thing I really hate is when I read a book that is one long advertisement for a product or group of products. This book certainly falls into that category. The main character, which is an older sage pastor constantly, told a younger confused pastor how to improve his church by becoming an equipping church. I have no problem with that. It is when he is told to go to web sites or buy other books or go to conferences or referred to speakers who are all in some way associated with Group. That really bugs me.
Now with that off my chest I believe that the idea of creating an equipping church is a fantastic idea and one worthy of serious consideration. There are other very good books out there. Sue Mallory (who now is connected to Group through Church Volunteer Central) wrote an excellent book called The Equipping Church that is very helpful and will give concrete advice and examples. Where as Me to We tells you that you need to build an equipping church without actually telling you how.
As a parting shot I must admit that Group Publishing has some great material. Though the concept behind this book is solid and the church need equip its saints the book itself will not help you accomplish this.
Me to We: A Pastor's Discovery of the Power of Partnership OverviewThere's no denying that healthier, happier churches have nearly everyone involved in some form of ministry. Alan Nelson, executive editor of REV! Magazine, guides your congregation to discover, develop, and deploy their gifts in service--and help your entire church reach its full potential. Explore practical way to move your church from a pastor-centric model to one that maximizes its volunteers, staff, and everyone in your church. Includes a variety of "best practices" from interviews with churches that have released their pastors from "doing it all" -- and successfully turned the way they do ministry upside-down.
