Memories, Hopes, and Conversations is a powerful resource that introduces readers to Appreciative Inquiry-a transformational organizational change process that focuses on the strengths of a group. The second edition has been revised and expanded throughout, featuring important new materials on leadership and missional frameworks, as well as five chapters from pastors describing the transformational experiences of their churches and neighbors using Appreciative Inquiry. The book offers a dynamic overview of the Appreciative Inquiry process, real stories of change in action, and a wealth of practical resources for churches to pursue this journey of appreciation, imagination, and change. The second edition includes dynamic stories of Appreciative Inquiry in practice from: Christopher Gobrecht (New Covenant United Methodist Church, Maryland), Jim S. Amstutz (Akron Mennonite Church, Pennsylvania), Jean Burch (Community Bible Church, California), Andrew Menzies (Camberwell Baptist Church, Australia), Michael R. Wilson (Chestnut Level Presbyterian Church, Pennsylvania).
Mark Lau Branson is the Homer Goddard Professor of Ministry of the Laity at Fuller Theological Seminary. He focuses on contexts and leadership, and how God's people can attend to God's initiatives. He is the author of Memories, Hopes & Conversations: Appreciative Inquiry, Missional Engagement, & Congregational Change, and (with Juan Martinez) Churches, Cultures and Leadership. Alan J. Roxburgh is a pastor, seminary professor, and mentor in leadership and missional transformation, and has written thirteen books on missional leadership and culture change. In his work he addresses questions of church and mission, convinced the Spirit is fermenting a movement of God's people that can't be contained in narratives of renewal, reform, or fixing existing systems.
