Pioneering a New Future by Phil Potter
This book offers a map for pioneering a new future for the Church. Writing as a pastor and practitioner, Phil Potter explains ways of shaping all kinds of change in the life of a church, particularly in the context of the many fresh expressions of church emerging. Decisions on what and how and when we change will inevitably affect growth or decline in a church, and also have a major impact on people. Leaders can end up burnt out by their attempts to bring about change, while congregations are left damaged and disillusioned because they could not catch the vision. This is a book for leaders wanting to guide their Christian communities into a new future, and for church members wanting to be equipped for whatever lies ahead. Also included are over 100 questions for personal and group reflection.
'Phil Potter has proved in his ministry that lasting change comes through clear, compelling valuesHis work on change draws on wide wisdom, real life and healthy, holy dissatisfaction.' George Lings, Church Army Research Team 'An excellent guidebook for a congregation serious about change and mission.' Steven Croft, Bishop of Sheffield 'This excellent book is the fruit of hard-won lessons in leadership and change.

Phil Potter takes us on a journey of heart and mind, to empower us to change and make a difference. Laurence Singlehurst - Director of Cell UK
From New Wine Magazine - Summer 2010 (review refers to first edition published under the title The Challenge of Change) As someone who has been a part of the pioneer network in the Liverpool Diocese under Phil's guidance for several years, I know that Phil is definitely up for a challenge. He has lived out the reality of that much-repeated statement, 'Change is here to stay.' The Challenge of Change awakens us to the state of our current cultural situation and challenges us to address the fact that it is rapidly and constantly changing. This book needs to be read and re-read, especially focusing on the questions set at the end of each chapter. Reviewed by Duncan Petty, Oaks Church, Skelmersdale
