Synopsis

According to the author, perhaps our greatest responsibility is to evangelize our own generation. Yet established churches are not able to do that. In fact, rising generations of Americans live in ignorance of Jesus Christ and have no moral absolutes. Aggressive church planting, the author believes, is the answer to the problem, because new churches focus on the needs of each new generation and present biblical truth in the cultural context that best reaches those people. The objectives of this book are to lay down the challenge to consider becoming a church planter while at the same time screen out wishful thinking and focus on the practical challenges of church planting. This authoritative and edgy message is the next thing in evangelism.

Review:

Wisdom in print...this book works! ...I wish he'd written it years before I struggled through my first years of planting Saddleback. Reading it could have spared me a lot of mistakes. --Rick Warren

The world needs Christ, and the method God has given us to accomplish the task is church planting. Ralph Moore...describes in practical detail how anyone can be involved in this exciting challenge. --Tony Dale, Editor: House 2 House Magazine

Ralph Moore has been a real hero to me...With so many theoretical "how-to" books available from people who have never done it, Ralph is a breath of fresh air. He doesn't just talk about this stuff, he lives it and he proves it! --Neil Cole

Vintage Ralph Moore--profoundly thoughtful yet simply expressed; full of revelation and practical applications; believable, doable and, therefore, immensely challenging. --Daniel A. Brown, pastor The Coastlands--Aptos, CA
