Kester Brewin

"If I had a list of the ten most important books for the emerging church, and for the church in general, I think this would definitely be on it. I’ll soon have to retire my copy to give its battered binding a much needed break." Jordon Cooper, blogger and founder member of Resonate.

"Beautifully weaving theory and praxis, Kester Brewin has a gift for the church: by looking closely at the rhythms of the crucified life and intersections with rhythms of the city, he gives us a new way forward as Christ-followers. This is a thoughtful and thought-provoking book." Tony Jones – National Co-ordinator, Emergent Village.

"I predict this book will stimulate a very important conversation regarding the future of the church in the West. Signs of Emergence will prove an invaluable academic resource for those in leadership who are seeking to re-imagine new expressions of the church in a changing world." Tom Sine, author of Mustard Seed vs. McWorld.

"Signs of Emergence is a rich and luminous meditation on the nature of change, which is grounded in a deep understanding of the Christian narrative and a keen insight into the structure of organic development." Peter Rollins, author of How (Not) To Speak of God.

"Signs of Emergence is one of those rare books that manages to combine deep theological reflection, new science perspectives, and creative ecclesiology with a genuine element of originality. Kester Brewin has fertilized the Western church’s dulled imagination with this fine work." Alan Hirsch, author of The Forgotten Ways.

"Absolutely fantastic… My only regret is I didn’t get to it sooner. Signs of Emergence is one of the most insightful books available on the subject of the emergent church." Will Samson, author of Justice in the ‘Burbs.

"A dynamic and hope-filled book to provoke the ecclesial imagination." Shane Claiborne, activist and author of The Irresistible Revolution.

"A fabulous book—original, creative, stimulating, provocative."Jonny Baker, author of Alternative Worship.
