Here are some of the best resources I have come across on the subject of simple church and disciplemaking movements. Many of them are available online and free. A few are books that can be purchased through Amazon.
On the paradigm shift from a traditional mindset to an organic one:
- Organic Church by Neil Cole
- Houses that Change the World by Wolfgang Simson
- Pagan Christianity by Frank Viola (online)
- You See Bones, I See an Army by Floyd McClung
- Francis Chan video: Rethinking Church
- Dave Johnson's video: Simple House Church
On simple gatherings:
- Felicity Dale's book, Getting Started, chapter 11 on When You Come Together
- John White's paper on the subject of Prevenience and Participatory Gatherings
On disciple making and multiplying:
- T4T website offering resources and a book that can be purchased
- Church Planting Movements by David Garrison (online)
- Simple Outline on how to do a Discovery Bible Study
On missional gatherings:
SOMA: a family of missional communities. Many related online resources.
Hope this is helpful. Feel free to leave comments with some of your favorite related resources!
