I am using this book as part of a research paper for school it is a pretty good read.
This book both summarizes and develops the teaching of the Church Growth Movement for a new generation. The author is heavily indebted to Donald McGavran, who did extensive field research to find out why some churches were more effective at reaching people with the Gospel than others.
Well, as always ...shipping was great!
This was an excellent book from the church growth stream of thought. Of course you will not agree with everything, and why would you.
All the pastors on our staff (The Journey Church in New York City) are reading this book right now. It's the best summary of classic church growth thinking that I've seen in at least a decade.
