Chip’s Top Ten - The Problem with Wineskins

Problem of the Wineskins: Church Renewal in a Technological Age by Howard A. Snyder.  Intervarsity Press (June 1975)

When I was a young minister-in-training, I actually got in trouble for reading this book—and for passing it on to others.  It was radical then and it’s radical now.  I handed these books out to everyone willing to read it back in my Bible College days.  In fact, a church board member of one of the first churches I belonged to in the 80’s carried one of the copies I handed out into a board meeting only to be greeted by the Pastor, “You’ve been hanging around Chip again, haven’t you?” Worth reading again.  It will help you think about church and how much our church structure hinders or helps us from carrying out kingdom objectives.  Snyder will challenge you to think “out of the box” with regard to your faith, church-life, and community.
