In Christian Chaos, Tom Bandy gives us a jewel of a book in the tradition of his first book, Kicking Habits. In this book Bandy distinguishes between systems and organization and shows why the system out of which a church functions determines how the church is organized, which also shows why most restructuring in churches and denominations does not work. His use of metaphor and imagery is outstanding and allows even the most callous leader to chuckle at their own systemic sins. Any church leader wanting to know why no matter what they try in their church seldom produces fruit need to read this landmark book.
