  • Fling Open the Doorsby Paul Nixon

    Abingdon Press 2002; US$ 14.00

    The temptation to focus only on their own internal problems and issues is powerful for congregations. Without realizing it, even churches that have a long tradition of outreach and social involvement become centered on issues of institutional survival and preservation. Worst of all are congregations that adopt a 'fortress mentality', addressing the larger community rarely, and only in the 'language of Zion' when they do. This tendency to isolation and insularity flies directly in the face of the gospel imperative to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. more...

  • 44 Steps Up Off the Plateauby Lyle E. Schaller

    Abingdon Press 2002; US$ 9.00

    Lyle E. Schaller defines a 'plateau' as a stagnant holding point in the size and energy of a congregation - a level at which energy is focused entirely on maintenance of past structures. He shows how to move an established congregation up off a plateau. more...

  • Growing Plansby Lyle E. Schaller

  • Healing Spiritual Amnesiaby Paul Nixon

    Abingdon Press 2004; US$ 10.00

    There are no end to clichés and easy assumptions about congregational health and vitality. It's much easier to start a new church than turn around an old one; nondenominational churches are growing, while denominational churches are dying; small-membership churches are concerned only with survival; suburban churches care only about endless programming and ''spiritual entertainment''; downtown churches are doomed to decay. more...

  • You Only Have to Dieby James A. Harnish

    Abingdon Press 2004; US$ 8.00

    A moving testimony to how a church can experience rebirth by discerning it core mission. The key to becoming a Spirit-energized, people-loving, life-giving, community-transforming congregation, says James A. Harnish, is really very simple. more...

  • Go BIG!by William Easum; Bil Cornelius

    Abingdon Press 2006; US$ 10.00

    Bill Easum and Bil Cornelius are two strikingly different, yet surprisingly similar pastors. One undertook to revitalize a moribund mainline church; the other, to plant a new nondenominational congregation. Coming from different generations, their ministries took place under dissimilar circumstances. Yet both have experienced substantial, even explosive, growth in congregational mission and membership. Along the way they learned some important lessons, such as the centrality of strong pastoral leadership, the need for an unhesitant pursuit of excellence in all areas of the church's ministry, and the requirement that you picture an audacious vision for your church and live into that vision. more...

  • Seven Practices of Effective Ministryby Andy Stanley; Lane Jones; Reggie Joiner

    The Doubleday Religious Publishing Group 2008; US$ 10.99

    There’s no scoreboard in the sanctuary, and the only plate is probably for the offering. But every church leader needs to know how to win, and every congregation needs to know when to cheer. This insightful book speaks to every church leader who yearns for a simpler, more effective approach to ministry. An engaging parable about one overwhelmed pastor is followed by an overview of seven successful team practices, each one developed and applied in a ministry setting. Reinforced by relevant discussion questions, these clear, easy, and strategic practices can turn any ministry into a winning team. Your ministry is perfectly designed to produce the results you are currently experiencing. If you are satisfied with those results, you don’t... more...

  • The Book of Church Growthby Thom S. Rainer

    B&H Publishing Group 1998; US$ 31.99

    The Church Growth Movement has divided devout Christians. Even though Rainer is an advocate, his aim here is to present an objective view of the movement--its history, the theology associated with it, and the principles which seem to separate churches tha more...

  • The Attractional Churchby Billy Hornsby

    Faithwords 2011; US$ 9.99

    Every church leader and church member want their church to grow. The promise of THE ATTRACTIONAL CHURCH is that if a church experience is positive, the lost, absent, and unfilled will come and complacent people in the pew will have their faith renewed. Author Billy Hornsby says that what keeps most churches from growing are the "methods" they choose for their outreach efforts. The local church must ensure visitors and members alike a good and lasting impression of their experience in church, especially the worship service. "You must get the first impression right!" Hornsby insists. From the website, Facebook page, Twitter accounts, leadership blogs, and parking lot to the worship facility and worship service: the total church experience... more...
