The Bikeable Church: A Bicyclist's Guide to Church Planting is an
off-the-cuff look and exploration into the bicycling world in
Portland. More than that, it pokes and prods church planting in the
urban petri dish to discover what it'd be like to plant
pedal-powered churches. Chalked full of stories, antics, and
slightly questionable research, The Bikeable Church spins forward
the church planting revolution in light of the changing
transportation infrastructure in cities like Portland, and asks
whether we can truly start churches where the primary vehicle of
use is the bicycle. This book is for the everyday bicyclist and
ordinary church planter. You'll be happy to hear that no spandex
was worn for the writing of this book.

Metrospiritual: The Geography of Church Planting is about church
planting in the city. There is an outpouring of new expressions of
church being started throughout metro areas across North America.
Where are these new churches being started? Maybe a more
subterranean question is, "Why"? Why are churches being started
where they are and why is there is a bias towards one part of the
city and an overall neglect of other parts? Metrospiritual explores
these questions and more as it builds off of recent research and
surveys of hundreds of church planters in seven large cities in the
United States and Canada. There is a deeper look at pivotal issues
such as gentrification, the Creative Class, community
transformation, urban renewal, and the role new churches play in
all of these.
For too long church planting literature and training has been
primarily focused on starting churches in low-density parts of our
cities predicated upon auto-based commuting patterns. However, the
reality of the global city is that millions upon millions of people
worldwide do not live that kind of lifestyle. Rather, life revolves
around getting from Point A to Point B via on foot, bicycle, or
public transportation. What would church planting then look like
with those common transportation realities? Instead of basing
strategies and methodologies on a car-based lifestyle, The
Multi-Nucleated Church reduces the scale to walkable neighborhoods,
districts, city centers, and central cities. The common denominator
is truly high-density urban contexts. The Multi-Nucleated Church
explores the theoretical framework of constructing an ecclesiology
that finds its home in the multi-nucleated high-density mega-global
city.
