A selection of booklets from Livability follows...

Charismatic & Connected

Urban areas in the UK are increasingly affected by violence, isolation and despair. But these same communities are also home to some of the biggest and most vibrant churches in the country. This booklet argues that these churches and their members need to take seriously the biblical call to 'act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with God' and to be a force for transformation in their communities.

Questionnaire Pack

This 55 page pack draws on Shaftesbury (now Livability's) experience of supporting several local churches and groups to develop and use community questionnaires. It is a practical, hands-on guide to all aspects of researching, writing, conducting and evaluating a community questionnaire. It's colourful and accessible style makes it a particularly attractive and useful tool for people with little or no previous experience in this area.

The LifeCentre Story

The LifeCentre story explores the challenges and rewards of working with non-churched young people in an urban context. It highlights the tensions of working alongside other agencies, the local church and the local community, whilst keeping the focus on the young people and looks specifically at "What does the Gospel look like for them?" and "How can church best meet their needs?"

Living Amongst

Living Amongst is about two couples who live and work on estates in Southampton. This is not glamorous stuff: it has brought them many challenges and pressures, and some days they want to leave. Their stories offer clues about living life as a Christian, whatever our context and point to church that exists outside the four walls of a building! The booklet presents a challenge to us all, both individually and corporately: how can we best respond to Jesus' commandment to love those whom we live amongst?

The concentric church

The Concentric Church addresses questions such as: Does local church really work? How relevant are church activities to people's day-to-day lives? Have you ever wondered how far your church ministries overlap with other local churches? It challenges Christians to look beyond the current models of church to discover new ways of relating and working together as the body of Christ.
