—Leonard Sweet, Best-selling author, professor (George Fox University, Tabor College, Drew University) and founder/contributor to preachthestory.com

With remarkable passion, and with Scripture as his guide, Alan Hirsch delves ever deeper into the symphony that is God’s church. More than practical, 5Q really informs and inspires.
—David Fitch, BR Lindner Chair of Evangelical Theology, Northern Seminary. Author of Faithful Presence

Comprehensive, brilliant, revelatory. This exciting new book by Alan Hirsch ushers in not just new information, but a whole new way of thinking about what it means to be the Church, what it means to follow Christ and serve others, and what it means to be human.
—Linda Bergquist, Church planting catalyst and adjunct professor.  Author of Church Turned Inside Out and The Wholehearted Church Planter

In this book, Alan distills his previous thinking into a rich, practical, multidimensional understanding of Paul’s primary paradigm on ministry, leadership, and organization. Not so much a book of ideas as a pair of glasses through which to see the world differently.
—Michael Frost, author, Surprise the World! and To Alter Your World

5Q is precisely what the Church needs to understand in order to move forward and be who Jesus has made us to be. For those wanting to stop circling in the ecclesial wilderness, get this book and take the journey!

This must read book will blow the minds of those who still believe the fivefold functions (APEST) are relegated to the first century and no longer relevant...A category-changing book indeed.
