But ready or not, the invitation is for kingdom leaders to reclaim their calling to innovate.
Weaving together stories with surprising twists, studies with striking conclusions, and spellbinding cultural analysis, Doug Paul unlocks the five phases of kingdom innovation Practical, hope-filled, and endlessly readable, Ready or Not reveals that whenever God’s people have leaned into innovation, the world has shifted on its axis.

“Ready or Not is a road map to break the church out of its sleepy programs and break it into the holy art of kingdom innovation. As eccentric as it is practical, you’ll want to reread it and start trying it—I recommend both.”
