Biblically and Soundly Based

The proof is in Pastor Ralph's success as leader of a movement with 700 church plants around the world, that is neither traditional or contemporary but Biblically based on early church growth as described in the book of Acts. His vision is simple and allows the Holy Spirit to control it's growth rather than allowing man to try to manage something that can only be hindered by getting in the way or trying to harness the spirit.

Here's the Beef!!

This book is not a theoretical book. It is a book from experience and years of success. This is a practical book that asks seemingly simple questions but that ultimately leads you to a deeper understanding of what you are attempting to accomplish.All but 2 chapters are entitled as questions. The purpose is to get the potential planter to look deep into themselves, answer some very real life questions, and get moving with your dream of planting a church.I found the best chapter had to do with budgeting. Chapter 8 makes the reader to look not only at money but to look at money as a vehicle to being effective. The budget can simply be divided into 2 sections: Opportunity Budget and Operational Budget. This chapter alone is worth buying the book.This book is a breathe of fresh air!

This book is a MUST READ!!

I have been studying everything I can get my hands on about church planting. This book is by far the best I have read to date. It offers the practical how-to's instead of endless pages of philosophies, etc..I recommend this book as a must-have for any church planter, trust me you will not be disappointed!

The best book available on starting a new church

Ralph Moore writes from over 20 years of successful church multiplication. This is not a book of theory. It's valuable insights come from wisdom forged in the crucible of real experience. If you are a church planter, a parent church pastor or a denominational supervisor of church planters this book is a must read!
