Publisher's Summary
This book is a guide for leaders seeking to build a community, to strengthen the community they already have, or who may not think of themselves as community leaders but who are envisioning a group they hope to create. These communities can be formal, with official memberships and administrations, or informal, tied by shared values and commitments. Some people think communities happen by accident, or have to emerge organically, but Charles Vogl emphasizes that there are solid, time-honored principles for consciously building them.
Drawing on 3,000 years of tradition, Vogl lays out seven enduring principles that every community of every kind must master to be effective and supportive. He describes each principle's purpose and provides extensive hands-on tools for implementing them. He also helps leaders ensure that their communities remain healthy and life-affirming and not degenerate into rigid cults.

Not bad, not great
Starts out well, then takes a strange turn and then comes good at the end. A good base on communities which is valuable for people who have never ran a community.

Excellent resource for research
Very good resource for either building/strengthening any community group, online community or for community development. I used for social research. As many American books do, there are many faith community references but this does not distract from the thesis and is juxtaposed to different faith communities and not just American Christianity.
