What if, instead of remaining stuck in unfruitful patterns and systems, we could experience the personal, church, and organizational transformation we so desperately desire?
The answer lies in Jesus' first words as he began his public ministry: "metanoia." This profound concept encompasses repentance as a radical paradigm shift and reorientation, inviting us to perceive the world through God's eyes and bringing transformation in our own lives, the organizations we lead, and the world around us.
In these pages, Alan Hirsch and Rob Kelly bring together their decades of experience helping countless organizational leaders to implement deep and significant change. Combining a theologically robust understanding of metanoia, along with best thinking from the social sciences, this book equips individuals and organizations to serve courageously and effectively in a complex and uncertain world.

Show moreIn Metanoia, Alan Hirsch and Rob Kelly recognize the church has
reached a turning point. Social unrest, political discord, a
life-altering pandemic-all of these are forcing leaders to consider
how they move forward in a changed world. Hirsch and Kelly offer
insightful answers to important missiological questions: What if,
instead of following old models, we turned to God for new ideas?
What if, instead of holding onto the past, we sought God's future?
Metanoia brilliantly explains how repentance realigns our hearts
with God's and creates a shift that prepares his people to reach
the world in brand-new ways.DAVE FERGUSON, lead visionary,

The church needs a course correction! Far beyond the guilt and
shame frameworks of repentance we have previously held to, this
book beckons us to consider metanoia as the radical paradigm shift
we need in order to see with fresh eyes the beauty awaiting us in
Christ. Compelling, hopeful, and unflinching, Metanoia is a
masterful book that every Christian leader should read.LISA

Every once in a while, I find myself reading a book that I have to
close. It's too much, too good. My imagination is captivated, the
vision of God is beyond belief, and I need to breathe. It's so
overwhelmingly true and hopeful, that it shifts the foundation of
my soul. With the WHY linked with the HOW, Alan and Rob plumb the
depths of Jesus and emerge with a way forward for all of us,
individually and collectively-a force, perhaps like the one that
caused the disciples to drop everything and follow.NANCY ORTBERG,

In a world awash with peripherals, the message of Metanoia is truly
and refreshingly radical-striking right at the very radix, the
root, of the ways in which we are to think, live, and lead as
followers of Jesus Christ. I particularly welcome the blend of
provocative thought and pragmatic empowerment, typical as it is of
Alan Hirsch's life as both a prophetic intellect and catalytic
leader.PETE GREIG, 24-7 Prayer International and Emmaus Rd, UK
There are very few writers who can take a concept that you have
known for a long time and help you rediscover it in a way that
helps you see everything anew. Alan Hirsch seems to do this with
every book. In Metanoia, he and his coauthor, Rob Kelly, reframe a
biblical idea that for many has become burdensome and
guilt-inducing into a pathway for new energy, creativity, and deep
transformation. You'll w
