Before long, many of our Christian congregations will be perceived as sentimental creatures who are studied primarily as skeletons in the halls of museums. The church is in danger of becoming a dinosaur, according to church consultant William Easum. We live in a secular or unchurched world, but the church continues to develop ministries as if the church were in charge of a churched society. Dancing with Dinosaurs will help pastors and church leaders to plant culturally relevant congregations, explore first-century Christian communities as the primary model for viable congregations, and challenge complacent, arrogant assumptions.
Dancing with Dinosaurs hits the nail on the head on the subject of the problems that the Church is facing and will face in the near future. William Easum displays a clarity of thought and writing that would be more refreshing if the subject mater were less threatening. I found this work to be needed reading in order to, not just sound the alarm but to examine the nature of it as well. On the issues of Easum's solutions I am not fully convinced that his directions are the best. I did find much to think about from this book and would recommend it to pastors and laity alike.
