Kester Brewin

"A highly recommended faith journey for those who dare to walk the walk and follow the trouble-making Jesus." Becky Garrison, author of Rising From the Ashes: Rethinking the Church

"My friend Kester Brewin writes with a wise, gentle, and prophetic voice, offering a perspective on the future of the church in the Western world that is at once incisive and hopeful.” Mark Scandrette, author of Soul Graffiti.

"In these pages are perceptive and loving words about the church, offering important frameworks from development and emergence theory to give churches a way of understanding how all of us can navigate the tough waters of change." Alan Roxburgh, president, Missional Leadership Institute

"Signs of Emergence is  Poetic… Practical….Fierce… When you read it you enter into the multi colored expression of God, mission, and hope. Finally a ‘sign’ that goes beyond the plentiful books out there on any emerging church stuff." Greg Russinger, founder of Soliton and the Symbol Society.

"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.
