GoodBookStall Review:
This is a book I would have liked to have written. This says everything I would have wanted to further say and illustrate in my own Grove >I>Developing a Strategy for Mission. Covering the same ground with 'Mission Action Plans' and helping congregations work out their own plan; this 'vision-centered approach' is exactly what every church needs. The helpful detail, the illustrations, the careful explanation and consideration of many issues learnt by others, are all carefully considered and put together in a single work which leaders and church councils do well to buy. This is not a book for the shelf, but a guide to growth. Anglican biased it may be, but all churches can follow this approach and I commend it highly. It is balanced, objective, practical and full of insight. There is hope for the church and this book will help a congregation realise it in a step by step manageable way.
