"Dr.
Choudhrie’s book, The
Meta Church, will cause a spiritual whirl-wind in those
who read it. It speaks to the heart of how God is reshaping the Church
today into a more flexible, reproducible, and vigorous instrument He
can use to win, build, and send believers into the harvest field. Get
ready to rethink your money, mindset, message, methodology, and mission
to help complete the Great Commission!"Rad Zdero, author of The Global House Church Movement and editor of Nexus: The World House Church Movement Reader
"I've been reading Victor' Choudhrie's Meta Church book, and I am heartened by his massive, historical research and objectivity. His non-Western perspective is simply refreshing! He must have applied his ample medical skills to make the penetrating diagnoses of the origins of paralyzing practices of traditional churches that we have been trying to correct in our stumbling way. His insights will help all who love Christ's church to take the right medicine to heal church bodies that have succumbed to the long-standing global epidemic of over-institutionalization."

"Many are investing in pearls, gold, silver, and other precious metals. Yet, if all the vaults in the world’s banks were flung open, they would reveal nothing worth the Kingdom principles and wisdom found in this book detailing the will of God for us and our contemporaries. “I was so blessed reading through it chapters that I plan to use many of its wise insights in mentoring others who labor in the Kingdom, seeking to do the will of the Father."

"The classical, traditionalist Christian was trying to “be a witness and testimony” in the workplace. This simply is not enough. When we encourage others to be a good Christians in “the workplace,” we are accepting the devil's framework: “work, earn, pay taxes and burn.” However, we are not to play the devil’s game and look funny; it is he who must play our game according to our rules, and look funny. Moving altogether into a Kingdom version of work involves a kingdom expression of the six stages of work:
jobless → job→ self-employed → employer→ investor → pensioner
We are to demonstrate three Kingdom rules in action: (1) You do not get money by working for money, but by working for God. (2) Your inventions and innovations turn into Kingdom business. (3) You establish Kingdom companies which are NOT secular companies baptized by having a Christian CEO or by holding Bible studies, but a companies with a fresh architectural design from their start. The difference is like that between traditional churches and apostolic gardening."
