Book Synopsis



What is God's mission? Simply put, says theologian and field educator Cameron Harder, God's mission is to form communities that reflect and embody the life of the Trinity. Discovering the Other is an introduction to two tools that community builders have found helpful: appreciative inquiry and asset mapping. These tools help congregations see that all of life is saturated by the sacred and give them energy to begin living as if it were so.



Review Quotes




Cam Harder integrates two soul mates: Appreciative Inquiry and Asset Mapping on a foundation of theological reflection to provide a life-giving, gospel, way for congregations to be agents of transformation in their communities.

Over my 25 years of pastoral and denominational leadership experience, I am always on the lookout for meaningful books to place in the hands of my pastors. I believe Discovering the Other offers a refreshing gift to pastors and church leaders to rediscover their unique identity and related potential to be used by God to literally change the world around them by being changed themselves!

With this book, Cam Harder has done smaller membership churches (and indeed the whole church) a great service. Discovering the Other lays a substantial Trinitarian theological foundation for the essential task of building community, indicates how the church as a grassroots movement rather than an institution can contribute to a renewed sense of the public, and offers rationale as well as practical tools for using appreciative inquiry and asset mapping in building on churches' strengths.
