Publisher's Synopsis
Are you longing to see your church grow, both in number and in discipleship? If so, Growing the Church 101 was written for you. Based on a seminar for clergy and wives led by Bishop Keith Andrews on radical and Biblical discipleship, this book is part of comprehensive effort to expand his vision to the local church, first in the Diocese of Western Anglicans, then in ACNA, and then in Anglican churches throughout the world. This vision, if realized, will propel us forward into the next phase of our growth as an obedient church. Growing the Church 101 contains six in depth group studies, each with two midweek homework sessions. The book has been recommended by Archbishop Foley Beach, Rt Rev Dr Todd Hunter and Canon David Rosebury for the express purpose of growing disciples who make disciples. Our prayer is that the Lord will use this book to increase, not just our Church's head knowledge, but also our heart knowledge and obedience. We pray that it will be a tool to enable and encourage deep discipleship, so that we will become disciples that make disciples that make a difference in the world."With all the books and resources on Church Growth, I recommend this work for the local congregation. Dr. Crocker and Bishop Andrews have provided an excellent resource for a local congregation to gather its influential members and honestly examine what is hindering their ability to fulfill Jesus' Great Commission. They have provided a safe way for a congregation to look in the mirror, and respond to what they see." Archbishop Foley Beach, Anglican Church in North America
