Here are some Cell books that we would recommend.....

Loving The Lost by Laurence Singlehurst                Widely considered essential reading for those starting to consider the Cell Church route.

 

The Apostolic Cell Church by Lawrence Khong. Lawrence Khong is considered by many to be a modern day apostle. The church, in fact the movement he has built would testify to his wisdom and ability. Dr Ralph Neighbour has worked with him in Singapore within the thousands of people who have come to Christ through the cell ministry. Dr Khong's book is a and practical and easy to follow manual, it is also written from successful implementation of Cell Church values.

 

 

 

The Second Reformation by Bill Beckham. It's time for a paradigm shift when it comes to our thinking about the church.

No longer was the average Christian powerless to understand God's Word apart from it being read and explained to them by a professional! Likewise, the Second Reformation that Beckham and others in the cell-church movement advocate is the call for ordinary Christians to change how they view the church and their ministry in it.

"Consider the inefficiency of the PBD (Program Based Design) church: buildings stand empty except for a handful of hours a week; the specialists service the members only to expand their specialty; only one-eighth of the members are involved in PBD tasks; a massive group of hopeless inactives exists; and, last but not least, the entire church has virtually no contact with the unreached community!"

 

 

 

Groups of Twelve by Joel Comiskey
Dr Joel Comiskey is one of the most researched and gifted writers and teachers today within the cell-church movement . He is a man devoted to Christ and concerned about the Church. In this book he explains the challenging concepts of Groups of 12.
