Preaching for Church Transformation - 9781426710629

"Every week I talk with pastors about the missional church renaissance underway, helping them understand it and figure out a way to fast-forward their missional engagement in the community. Every week they ask me, `do you have some help so I can communicate this with my congregation?' Now I do! Preaching for Church Transformation is for those of you who have to have something to say every seven days, and want that `something' to help your congregation be the church God intended---partnering with Him in his redemptive mission in the world."---Reggie McNeal, author of Revolution in Leadership

"Bill Easum has been on the cutting edge of church transformation for three decades. He has always been able to see where the church needed to go, years ahead of the rest of us. It is easy now to look back and see that if the church had listened more closely to much of what Bill has been saying, we would be a much stronger church today. I am delighted that he continues to enlighten and challenge us even now to become the church Christ calls us to be." Clif Christopher, author of Whose Offering Plate Is It?

"Bill Easum knows that true church growth is about the consistent making of new disciples. He believes it, has done it, helps others do it, and in this book shows you how to do it. This practical `how to' primer teaches pastors and congregations how to obey God, accomplish God's mission, and change the world. Read the book and then just do it!" Paul D. Borden, author of Assaulting the Gales
