About the Author :
Rev. Todd Grant Yonkman (D. Min) is Senior Co-Minister at the Beneficent Congregational Church in Providence, RI. He received his doctorate of Ministry from Andover Newton Theological School where he was honored as a member of the Jonathan Edwards Society. He’s also written for the United Church News. He and his wife and Co-Minister, Nicole, live in Providence, Rhode Island.

Review :
In this powerful testimony, uncovering the long and complex history of a Rhode Island church held hostage by its past, Dr. Yonkman outlines the multifaceted approaches he, his co-pastor wife Nicole, and a willing congregation used to turn the church around. This inside story takes us into vulnerable places where we too emerge with an understanding of the postmodern plural model of ministry that has set Beneficent Church free. A must read for anyone engaged in the art of church reconstruction. Todd Yonkman weaves together the story of a church, the story of his faith journey, and the story of today's religious culture with both integrity and hope. He creates his own 'bricolage' that adds much-needed depth to the ongoing conversation of what it really takes to turn historic churches toward new visions. I recommend this book to all who believe that something new is indeed breaking forth in faith communities, through God's love and through our human yearning for community. Todd Yonkman offers a useable practical theology that makes sense for the times in which we live...Whether a church is renewing or declining, revitalizing or stagnating, redeveloping or spinning in circles there are insights in this book that will surely bring reason for hope.
