Confessions of a Reformission Rev.: Hard Lessons from an Emerging Missional Church Audiobook

" Great stories of how Mark started Mars Hill church in Seattle. Some were funny, others eye-opening, and still others were shocking. I respect Mark's view of Scripture very much. "

" Again, this is really somewhere between a 3 and a 4, but there are a number of really helpful things in this book, especially for pastors and church planters. I have my quibbles, and he certainly doesn't cover all of the areas of church life and church planting. But there's a lot of good stuff here. "

" I thought this was a very insightful and informative book on Church Planting. Mark Driscoll not only gives a history of his church, but explains his reasoning for his moves, how he messed up and things he would have changed with his approach. I loved it. "

" Love this book and this pastor. I'm thankful for his honest assessment of himself in the hopes that it will help other pastors and leaders. "

" He's funny, but too crass for my taste "

" Solid read. Will open your eyes to the mission of the church and how we must always remember what Jesus calls us to specifically for our context. "

" Informative and insightful on beginnings of urban, missional ministry. "

" From Pastor Brad's library of books that make you want to start your own church... a refreshingly honest story of one pastor's journey from home- to mega-church leader, warts & all. "

" not amazing. but real good. "

" LOVED THIS BOOK. Read it cover to cover in 4 hours. An incredible book on church planting, pastoring, and leadership. Highly recommend to anyone in ministry or thinking about a church plant "

" Read on the flight that took me to Seattle, which feels like forever ago. It was a good book, with a lot of useful insights on what its like to plant a church, and the challenges faced - often silently - by the leaders who do. "

" An interesting and enjoyable read for, but not a must read. Not a book I think other's need to read. Some food for thought, both in creating a nuanced perspective on some things and some things to disagree with. "

" Love the honesty of my communities lead pastor. Mark you are an encouragement to me. "

" Not quite as powerful as The Radical Reformission, but Confessions still gives an honest and insightful story of Dricoll's successes and failures in leading Mars Hill and offers much food for thought along the way. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Good food for thought. If a person knows how to distinguish between principles and methods, a lot here can transfer from one cultural setting to another. "

" An honest description of where Mars Hill has been as a church, with plenty of Driscoll humor and stories. Helpful for assessing strengths and weaknesses in churches of various sizes. "

" Solid thoughts and eye opening stories that will help you decipher the church God has put on your heart to build. "

" Wowza. Some stuff I'm not really sure I agree with, but it's very clear that God is using this man to do great things in Seattle. He is very wise and very humble, and this book is well worth reading. "

" This is one of my favorite books I've ever read. Very entertaining and helpful. "

" A bit of a roller coaster story.. certainly plenty to think about and learn from. "

" Challenging read. many helpful insights for pastoral types. Really made me think about how I do what I do. "

" Interesting autobiography of Driscoll and the beginning of Mars Hill church. A little over the top at parts in it's language/tone, but that's pretty normal for Driscoll. "

" Lots of helpful things. Some ridiculous things. Few really arrogant things. Typical Driscoll. Thankful for Mars Hill Church. "

" Made me laugh alot. Made me think alot. Made me want to plant churches alot. "

" Cool to read a biography about the history of my church family. "

" Honest, funny and inspiring story of the planting and growth of Mars Hill Church, Seattle. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It was a neat look into how Mars Hill Church and Acts 29 got going. Driscoll, though at times slightly inappropriate, tells an amazing story about starting a church in a place very hostile to the Gospel. "

" Mark Driscoll Lead Pastor / Elder at Mars Hill Church in Seattle recalls the history of Mars Hill Church. He provides insight and advice as to what things he and the elders did well and what things they did not do so well. "

" Good stuff here! Some of the same stuff I have learned over the years but a good refresher into what a elder, deacon, member, woman, and leadership team looks like working together. "

" nice, short, to the point read on church leadership. i like. "

" If you like Mark Driscoll then this won't disappoint. "

" Great book on church leadership, can be read in a little over an hour. Great book for small groups or people who are entering into church leadership. "

" Succint...clear...to the point...and funny (as Mark always is). I really like the way Mark brings it all back to the word "authority" ... how true and needed. "

" About an hour read and simply describes church leadership, elders, and the structure of the church. It also looks at the biblical teachings of an male-eldership. "
