Awesome Book

Great book. Reggie Joiner shares his thinking on the need for church and family to combine efforts.

Great resource!

After having heard Reggie speak on a few occasions, I was looking forward to reading this book. I was not dissapointed! If you've heard him speak and learned from what he had to say, you will want to read this book. If you haven't heard him speak, get this book and you'll want to. I'll admit that Think Orange has a text book feel about it which kind of turned me off at first, but it's an easy read that had me going back to hi-light certain passages and take notes. Reggie does a great job of explaining why the church and the family are better working together and of telling you how to go about developing that working relationship. If you are involved in family or youth ministry in any way or if you want to learn things that will help you be a better parent, get this book.

Presenting the source for churches who want the BEST engaging approach for volunteers,children and

Articulated in a clear,empassioned way, Reggie Joiner and his staff at REThink Group have share their strategy that hleps local churches evaluate what's really important in ministry to kids, parents and students.

Less is more. Empower your church to be impactful and engaged and experience growth.

"Orange" ya glad this book was written.

We have come to expect when anything that comes from Reggie Joiner is done it is going to be done with excellence, and this book was no different. Orange is sweeping the country, family ministry has become one the great buzz words moving around as well, and yet, there seems to not really be a clear definition of what "Family ministry" is or looks like. Until now! Reggie does a great job going into a very articulate description of how he views family ministry and definitely helps set up up some guide post along the way to achieving what has become known as "Family Ministry". Orange has become a staple book in my arsenal of books. I enjoyed reading it as it created and help lead to many great questions for myself as to the effectiveness of what and how we have been doing in the children's ministry world. "As leaders and parents, our primary calling is not to keep our children in the church, but to lead them to become the church." - Think Orange. So go ahead and pick up this book, kids depend on it, parents depend on it, families depend on it. "The most powerful thing you can do for parents is to provide kids in your ministry with another adult who will say the same things in their kids lives that they're trying to say as a parent." - Think Orange.

I'm thinking Orange

Think Orange: Imagine the Impact When Church and Family Collide...This read may not say it all, but it couldn't have left out much. For church leaders who want the details on a revolutionary idea that has proven itself over 10 years, here it is. I've searched for ways to energize families to raise spiritual champions since I read George Barna's great book on that subject 6 years ago. Mr. Joiner has set the table. No longer can we say, "Can that really be done?". The future of churches who partner with families to make a difference in our culture is extremely bright! (like a lamp stand). Wayne King
