The Irresistible Church
Wayne Cordeiro

Bethany House (Baker Publishing Group)

A best-selling author and pastor at New Hope Christian
Fellowship in Honolulu, one of the nation’s fastest-growing
Churches, Cordeiro lays out a strategy and framework for
pursuing change and improvement, in The Irresistible Church:
12 Traits of a Church Heaven Applauds.

With a foreword by Willow Creek’s Bill Hybels, Cordeiro’s book defines an
irresistible church as a body of believers that is “alluring, magnetic, and relentless in its persuasion.”  It is an attractive community that cannot be ignored.  Cordeiro outlines
a dozen traits of an irresistible church, including that it continuously learns, hungers
for the presence of God and follows a plan.

Each chapter concludes with an action item, and Cordeiro includes a study guide
with discussion questions and Bible studies.  This work will make an
excellent year-long curriculum or simply serve as a tool to get small groups
or church leadership talking.  Readers will appreciate Cordeiro’s humble, God-
dependent insights and his emphasis on making church irresistible to God, not only to
people.
