Read This Book: Transforming Church by Kevin Ford

Kevin Ford’s book “Transforming Church” is a valuable read.  It is one of the best books I’ve read that talks clearly about the function of a church’s ‘dna’, what Ford calls a church’s “Code”.  His discussion of the difference between “technical” change and “adaptive” change is worth the price of the book.  Ford discusses convincingly the role of a church’s character as it seeks to work out its ministry in the post-modern milieu.  It is a great book for NCD as well as Transformation churches.  For NCD it is a reminder to take seriously the “code” we are writing.  For Transformation it helps you unlock the “code” so you can honor it and incorporate it as you seek to grow your ministry.
